Dry Branch Hollow and Other Stories

(now available at Amazon.com)

“Phibby Venable is a respected poet who has published several book length collections … [and] an architect of excellent prose, which is no less lyric than her poems … Dry Branch Hollow is a group of stories both serious and amusing. Some are haunting and deeply feminine; they bring to mind Anne Morrow Lindberg’s tenderness and Charlotte Bronte’s strength …This is delicious, funny writing, reminiscent of the late Ray Bradbury. In Dry Branch Hollow, Phibby Venable does the uncommon: she gives the best of both worlds.”
