That, or read Shakespeare on the porch alone in the Idaho wilderness.\n\nBut Clay has an unfortunate gift: he’s haunted by monstrous dreams of his family’s dead nemesis, Das Ungeheuer, and every time he tells a story, someone dies.\n\nClay learns that his parents kept many secrets from him — not the least being there’s a family calling that involves monster-wrangling, his father's murderer is on the loose, and a family axe with a mind of its own may be trying to talk him into vengeance.\n\n\"If Faulkner wrote fantasy, he'd have written something like this... unique, lyrical, and steeped in Americana folklife.\" --Sunyi Dean, author of The Book Eaters and The Girl with A Thousand Faces\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0DTBL7D7K\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B0DTBL7D7K.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Kunkel, Dust\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
