Welcome to Andermatt County. Hill country. South-central Texas. The residents walk the terrain and feel the air as if in a haze of their own self-interest. The children live in a mystical void of wonder mixed with downtrodden hopes of their lives to come.
In YE SHALL BE AS GODS, meet Emmett Anhalt, a young, curious boy who lives with all women, none of them giving him the time of day, so he embarks on a walk through the brush and woods where he is introduced to the alluring ways of Rex Henry Burr--a serial killer. Emmett and Rex's journeys together are chronicled in this story, along with the lives and hopes and dreams of their victims and other residents of Andermatt County, each with his or her own personal quirks and downfalls.
In HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR BITSY, we are introduced to the proverbial paradise of living in Andermatt County's social circles. Esther Fielding, or bitsy, is turning six years old, and her mother only wishes for her to replace her love for dead squirrels and rodents with a love for dolls and teatimes. But is she doing this solely for herself? Or is Esther already limpidly trudging down the right road?

IVY DAY sacrifices herself for each picture, coming back from death in one role to be resurrected for the next. IVY DAY is a movie star. IVY DAY is an icon. IVY DAY is immortal. These are the tenets of her fans, her devotees.A trio of girls' sole shared ambition is to take up her uniform, their savior's blonde hair and branded makeup, which promises beauty and grace. They treat and poke and prod themselves, ascetics of aesthetics, revealing inner and outer horrors...A quiet collector builds a shrine to IVY DAY in the back of an old video store, transfixed on reel after reel of her performances...And there is JOHN MARK. He is her newest, biggest fan. He is her champion.And he will stop at nothing to assure her immortality.
