Ten speculative fiction tales in which the author impersonates a virtuoso ring master, pulling up the curtain on a series of players who yearn, shock, succor, and entertain. Mermaids twine tails around foul-mouthed oil executives; wounded children forge their own magical salvation; a cup of tea on Bell Island is a conduit to another planet; a hiking trail leads to the end of the world, and beyond. Hilarious, moving, and dazzling by turns, this speculative fiction collection from one of Newfoundland's most idiosyncratic writers will seduce you with raw wisdom, befriend you with wry wit, and stay with you.
