In the first season of True Detective, do you remember those weird constructions of sticks that seemed to pop up everywhere? Well, “Sticks,” one of the stories in this book, is where those things come from. And it is only one small sign of the influence of legendary author and editor Karl Edward Wagner. Wagner was a native of Knoxville, Tennessee, and many of his best stories—particularly the early ones—are steeped in Southern atmosphere. He was, however, far from the average good ole boy himself: his father was a big wig at the TVA, and Karl earned degrees in history from Kenyon and psychiatric medicine from Chapel Hill. He soon decided, however, that he despised physicians and detested psychiatry, and therefore abandoned medicine for writing.
