Description Gabriel Rackett stands at the threshold of middle age.
Now, at the ebb of his resources, Gabriel returns to his old haunts through a series of fantastic stories spilling dangerously off the page-tales that will preoccupy and pursue him back to their dark and secret sources..
Into his possession comes a manuscript, written by a childhood friend and neighbor, which ignites his memory and takes him back to his mysterious mentor and the ghosts that haunted his own coming of age.
He has written one novel and has no prospects of writing another, his powers stagnated by drink and loss.
He lives north of Chicago and teaches at a small community college.
