NEVER BE ALONE AGAIN

In a dying railroad town, a conjoined twin wallows in purgatory for the murder of his brother. A disgraced surgeon goes to desperate ends to reconnect with his lost love. When redemption comes with a dash of black magic, the two enter a world of talking corpses, flesh-eating hogs, rude mimes, and ritualistic violence.

Review Quotes

"Jo Quenell's debut novella explores both regret and connection in the weirdest and wildest ways possible. Good times!" - Danger Slater

"A whiskey-burn tale of loneliness and regret, Quenell's debut will shove your face in the slop and leave you lucky to see another awful day." - Katy Michelle Quinn

"A Southern Gothic folk tale steeped in black humour and the occult. If you enjoyed Geek Love, Nightmare Alley, or the works of Joe R Lansdale, you'll love the unique brand of literary madness Jo Quenell has conjured with The Mud Ballad." - Brendan Vidito
