Publisher's Synopsis
Two boys beyond rescue are lost in delirium and bound by a friendship that defies time and mortality. Humorous and heartbreaking, eloquent and frightening, an impeccably rendered fable that reminds us of the gravity of childhood experience.
With Michigan's Upper Peninsula as the backdrop, this is a tale set with ancient forests, deep-water terror, whispering caves, and underworld horror. Sublime as an endless summer's eve and as sinister as an infinite night in a dark lodge.
A vividly imaginative and poignant fairy tale for older teens and adults, it is filled with beauty, wonder, and terror. A bewitching and harrowing story of mystery and survival where the impossible becomes all too real.
Though this little novel stands alone it could also be read as a prequel to Dead of November: A Novel of Lake Superior.
