Room For One More contains twelve short stories and four poems, each paired with a beautiful illustration. Inspired by a wide range of myth, folklore, and urban legend, as well as each other, these tales follow the winding roads through the Underworld out onto the empty highways of the American West, with a number of intriguing stops along the way.
