The Last Moonshiner, New Fiction by Lydia Ship
by Fringe Magazine • 03.08.2010Marvin “Popcorn” Sutton died on March 16, 2009. Of Popcorn’s influence on The Last Moonshiner, author Lydia Ship had this to say:
“He built his own coffin and kept it in his spare room. Deep in the mountains with his still, he once ran out of food and ate ketchup and grubs for dinner – damn good, he said. He made moonshine, drank it, and drove off-road delivering it (or off-road, into-tree). Popcorn also fought a bully. The fight interested me. That’s why I wrote about him.”
