First off, "sundown town" was a well known term then, though certainly less so now. Second, the hood? Come on. Finally, the idea of an entrenched horror amidst a small southern town seems to me to speak volumes about what "goid citizens" were (are?) capable of under cover of darkness (lynchings, burnings, etc.) anyway, havent seen the whole thkng as I said but that was my impression. Also, I am binge reading your blog now that I have found it. My husband thinks my love for hokey old horror TV movies is inexplicable, and I kind of thought I was unusual in my film tastes, so it is great to find so,eone putting as much thought and consideration into these works as you are, Is your book still in print and if so, has it been updated and if not, will it be soon?
