Some of them are Legends. Some are Misfits. The best of them bleed into the lines.

In their boredom, some of them will eerily beckon others out to sea. (Reiney Razzlehorn)

Listening to Def Leppard on her iPod, one of them will rocket down a scary hill in her flashy rollerblades and somehow end up at a haunted house in Mississippi. ('Lil Lilly DangerRocket)

Some legends will be deliberately faced with impossible worlds in which they will have to enter as a savior child. (Once There Was A World)

And after many years of a hunter's strange disappearance in upstate New York, some will return home and tell you their unbelievable and appalling story, while life seems to return back to normal, as if nothing had happened. (What Happened to Truett Maples?) BASED ON REAL EVENTS.

And then there's the Legend of Santa Claus and the Elves. A misfit that's halfway complete. Belsnickel shows up.

Combining the mythical, magical, and the melodious, the daring, dashing, and the not-so-respectable, LEGENDS & MISFITS is a new collection of short fiction, a mercurial collection of nineteen tales, from abstract artist and author, J. L. Williams.
