A Gothic collection of stories featuring carnivorous beavers, art-eaters, and family intrigue, for fans of Alice Munro and Shirley JacksonThe small southern Ontario town known as The Pump lies at the crossroads of this world's violence-a tainted water supply, an apathetic municipal government, the Gothic decay of rural domesticity-and another's.In Brooman's interconnected stories, no one is immune to The Pump's sacrificial games. Lighthouse dwellers, Boy Scouts, queer church camp leaders, love-sick and sick-sick writers, nine-year-old hunters, art-eaters-each must navigate the swamp of their own morality while living on land that is always slowly (and sometimes very quickly) killing them."Brooman has woven an inescapable, ferocious dream of a book. Good luck getting out."-John Elizabeth Stintzi, author of Vanishing Monuments"Brooman's writing is beautiful... Nightmarish and yet somehow fantastical."-This Magazine
