A Novel of the American South
“A brutal, adventurous tale…”
- Kirkus Reviews
1934 - When strangers discover a young couple in an intimate moment, what follows is tragic and unforgivable. And when chance brings Willie Lee Jamison face-to-face with one of the attackers, violence erupts and the man—a member of a prominent local family—is killed. Even in a just world, Jamison might expect to pay a heavy price. In the Jim Crow South, he has sentenced himself and the woman he loves to a violent death.
... Darkness is Coming...
"A gripping, multi-layered work that explores humanity’s confrontation with the unknown.”
Blending elements of mystery, science fiction, and social commentary, “Days of Unease” delves into themes of belief, loss, and survival in the face of extraordinary events. From the discovery of supernatural entities to the collapse of society and civilization itself, characters grapple with existential questions and life-or-death struggles. Whether it’s a man’s desperate quest to rescue his wife from exploitation, a young woman’s haunted inheritance, or the world’s reckoning with a cosmic anomaly, Ford masterfully weaves tales of resilience, fear, and hope in a universe teetering on the edge of oblivion. - A Thousand Candles Press

A headstrong woman a century ahead of her time encounters a dark malevolence in her family’s ancestral home.
And more…
Darkness is Coming. Prepare yourself.
Preston Ford is an American fiction writer whose work explores themes of identity, memory, morality, and the metaphysical boundaries of human experience. From brutal, moral reckonings and haunting ambiguity to witty and intimate romanticism, he examines the inner space of the human psyche and renders it in stark, unapologetic realism. His fiction nevertheless remains deeply human, even when confronting the surreal.
