Who Lost, I Found is a collection of Black Southern speculative tales from author Eden Royce, who weaves together subgenres like a sweetgrass basket: Southern Gothic, weird fiction, dark fantasy, and folk horror. All inspired by her Gullah Geechee heritage and its cautionary stories, and the hoodoo that runs throughout, whether everyone acknowledges it or not.
An old woman can wake the dead, for a time, bringing families peace when they've been denied justice. An elder on death row chooses her last meal, and it isn't on the menu. A witch learns the real reason behind her ex-husband's death and decides to do a little hexing of her own. A girl gets more than she bargains for when she sneaks into a room at a historic property . . .
These are stories written like the South itself: beautiful, dangerous, haunting. Giving the South its due in speculative fiction for reaching further than many realize and for leaving an indelible stain.
