Winds of Change

A group of complete strangers are trapped inside a hardware store while the winds of change turn anyone who ventures outside into a pillar of salt. Is it the result of biological warfare gone awry or a simple terrorist's plot? Is it a Biblical curse, hearkening back to the plagues of Egypt? Or is it something much more sinister? A string quartet is held captive inside a seaside conservatory by a group of ocean-dwelling creatures whose only mission is to make the music stop. The quartet's only defense lies in their ability to create music. Thus, they must either play indefinitely or die. A homeless man befriends a young boy who can summon voodoo gods through the graffiti that he paints on the walls of the city. Yet it will take more than friendship to help the boy when one of the gods escapes. "Biblical prophecies come to life at your local hardware store? What's not to like? WINDS OF CHANGE is a wild ride and then some -- Jason Brannon's characters live and breathe in every story, and his horrors crawl up your spine like an icy finger in the dead of night. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough!" James Newman, author of Midnight Rain and Holy Rollers "Jason Brannon's Winds of Change is the sort of collection that should make it to everyone's must read list. His prose is deceptively powerful and his stories are the stuff that revives my love of the genre." James A. Moore author of Serenity Falls and Blood Red "Jason Brannon's Winds of Change is a terrifying three-pack of brutal nightmares. Brannon plunks down ungodly horrors right in the middle of the mundane normalcy of everyday life, and the results are shocking and highly entertaining. The secret is out, Jason Brannon delivers thegoods!" Drew Williams, author of Art and Becoming and The Corruptor
