Pogo, the delightful cartoon possum created by Walt Kelly, famously commented that “We have seen the enemy and he is us.” And so it is in life. Our tragedies, our sense of loss, too often result from the way we treat ourselves, those around us, or our world. William explores these themes in his collection of twelve stories in several genres from sci-fi to a dystopian view of the future of mankind.
Environmental and generational conflict in cottage country, a detective investigates a grisly murder, a young man searches for a native guide he befriended as a child, a hippie road trip to Woodstock does not turn out as expected, a visit to a 1950’s underground blues club raises issues of African Americans living under Jim Crow laws and evokes memories of trench warfare during WW 1. In the title story, a man seeks refuge from a blizzard in an isolated farm house. Is he a friend or a horrible memory from the past?
