My Cloven Feet is a collection of short stories by first-time author Chris Jay, a native of Springhill, LA. The stories contained in the book blend realistic portrayals of rural life with the wonders of magical realism, resulting in a book that presents readers with quietly-observed portraits of Southern families alongside explosive, logic-defying tales of spirits and wanderers. An avid reader and a devotee of the genre known as "Southern Gothic," Jay draws heavily on the influence of writers like Breece D'J Pancake, Cormac McCarthy, and Kelly Link. My Cloven Feet was written over the course of eight years, and was self-published using Kickstarter.org. For inquiries or more information, contact the author at chrisjay318 AT gmail DOT com.
