The residents of Hardlyville, a small community nestled in the heart of the Ozarks, are a rollicking, friendly, loving bunch.
      Hardlyvillains have seen it all. But now they're up against something they've never had to deal with before: evil for its own sake.
      What do you do when evil is consumed by even greater evil? Hardlyvillains only know one way to fight something that terrifying, and that's with love, humor, and an overwhelming desire to help one another.

Rowdy, ribald, insightful and grounded in Ozarkian waters and history, Wellspring of Evil will always surprise, and generally raise an eyebrow or two.
