Dust jacket and interior illustrations by Ted Naifeh.
Since her first appearance in the novel Threshold (2001), Dancy Flammarion has proven herself one of Caitlín R. Kiernan’s most enduring and popular (and long-suffering characters). Subterranean Press released the first collection of Dancy short stories—Alabaster—in 2006, followed by a second—Comes a Pale Rider—in 2020. In the interim, there was a three-volume Dark Horse Comics graphic novel series, also called Alabaster, which won a Bram Stoker Award in 2013.
Kiernan’s first Dancy story in seven years, “Gethsemane” goes south to the cane fields and swamps of the Georgia-Florida line, pitting a weary Dancy Flammarion against ancient horrors dragged from the sea’s black abyss and now lurking in an abandoned alligator farm. Offering up sirens, seagulls, pork rinds, and a haunted woman determined Dancy will help rid her town of monsters, “Gethsemane” reunites readers with the world of Kiernan’s “pale rider.”
