Field Notes for the Earthbound - Paperback

by John Mauk (Author)

Cursed by tenderhearted witches, saved by Nazarene healers, and haunted by brazen lunatics, the characters in Field Notes for the Earthbound yearn to escape the relentless horizon of Northwestern Ohio. These connected stories chronicle an area dying to itself: shedding its history and awakening to modernity-to highways, speed, bottled beer, and rock-n-roll.
