Some creeks run with water. Turniptown Creek runs with secrets. In this hauntingly imaginative collection, Rachel Rain Martin invites readers to the shadowy hollows and starlit skies of Turniptown, a small Southern village that pulses with stories beyond the veil of reality. Beneath its moss-draped trees and whispering winds lie tales that defy time, space, and reason. From alien abductions to ancient civilizations, from witches hiding in plain sight to murders laced with cosmic clues, each story unearths a layer of mystery connecting the past, present, and otherworldly. One moment you're unraveling a conspiracy rooted in Atlantis; the next, you're spiraling through a time portal in the back of a bait shop. Rich with folklore, eerie twists, and speculative wonder, Tales from Turniptown Creek is Southern Gothic meets speculative sci-fi—a genre-bending tribute to the strange, the spectral, and the sublime. Welcome to Turniptown. Nothing is ever what it seems.
