Disappearance at Devil’s Rock, the paperback lives

Same beautiful blue and yellow cover. Just more bendy.

[image error]

Extras in the paperback include reading discussion questions. An essay about my satanic movie consumption, and a liner notes essay about the novel itself.

I hope you enjoy the novel. If you enjoyed it, tell a friend.

And just for fun, a video I shot at Borderland and Split Rock with my son.

“Ideas. I'm possessed by ideas. Ideas that are as old as humanity, maybe older, right? Maybe those ideas were out there just floating around before us, just waiting to be thought up. Maybe we don't think them, we pluck them out from another dimension or another mind.”
