| 1 | In the Season of Blood and Gold | 2014 | Taylor Brown | Buy |
Before Taylor Brown turned to novels, he published In the Season of Blood and Gold (2014), a collection of short stories set in and around the American South. The stories display the same strong sense of geography and history that would become his trademark in later works like Fallen Land and Gods of Howl Mountain.
This collection gave Brown his first published book and established the themes he would return to again and again: the weight of the Southern past, lives shaped by the land, and characters caught between loyalty and survival.
