County Fairy Tale — John G. Hartness

Great-Grandpappy Beauregard is back with more moonshine, and more action as the ShinePunk superhero goes to the County Fair. Beauregard, the O.B. (Original Bubba) goes to the county fair with his sister Tavvy, and they find a man hawking a miraculous cure-all. Unlike most snake oil salesman, this fella isn't just peddling castor oil or moonshine. His snake oil really DOES cure what ails you. But when they poke around his wagon a little more, Bubba and Tavvy find a sinister secret.

County Fairy Tale is a short story, originally published in Capes & Clockwork 2.
