In this fast, funny mystery / adventure / romance, a bartender-turned-reporter leaves Washington, DC, to start a new life in the high country of Appalachia. Just beginning to fall under the spell of the beauty — both geographic and human — he finds the hills, hollows and his love interest hide secrets that make his own look like amateur hour.
The latest in PEET.ink’s collection of “snackable fiction” is the best yet. Stephen Peet’s love letter to Western NC in the time of Reagan delivers unforgettable characters, a twisty plot that rips along like a body falling off a cliff and an ending that lands like a ton of bricks.
Reflections on America from the year 2105.
If you think America can’t get any stranger, Abraham Bush Crabb has some news.
The day before he dies in the year 2105, Abe recalls his remarkable 108 years on Earth: kidnapped from an unwanted-baby drawer in East Tennessee, he survives as one of 18 fosters of the bible-drunk congresswoman Myrna Mockley, falls into a lucrative gig dancing naked for Washington’s political elite, dodges hot lead and hollow points at the gruesome “Trump Massacre,” scavenges for Trump-branded bric-a-brac in submerged mar a lago, chefs for the 1% on an everflight ship hovering 60,000 ft. above the climate catastrophes.
And that barely gets us to Abe’s 50s. Wait ’til you see what passage of the 28th Amendment does to our nation.
This wildly entertaining yarn pulls no punches and ends on a hopeful note for those who know the best of America will reemerge when the corrupt idiots in charge get theirs. And they do. In Abe we trust.
A little magic, a little mayhem.
Thursday Night Football. Millions witness a strange spirit in the clouds over the stadium tell mankind to confess our sins … or else. Is it a hoax or the second coming? Whatever the Cloud Spirit is, a big chunk of the population sees God behind it all, including a not-so-bright former president who, if he chooses to spill his guts, could bring down a lot of powerful people. One man has to stop the ex-prez, another knows who appeared in the clouds and what it all means. Time’s running out for both of them.
