Neck Between Two Heads
Author: Ray Harvey
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
This is Volume 2 in a 2 part series. "One of the strangest, most unpredictable, most lyric books I've ever read." -- James Cole, Professor Emeritus, poetry, University of Wyoming For decades, rumors of the "Maze Man" have haunted the Baboquivari Wilderness, a desert land located fifty miles southwest of Tucson, and beneath which runs a vast network of caves that many among the Tohono O'odham natives believe "the portal to hell." When a young Apache man named Jon Silverthorne moves into a haunted house directly beneath Baboquivari Peak, he's immediately by his desert neighbors looked upon suspiciously. He's treated with hostility. Yet Jon is not what people think. Solitary, calm, bookish, Jon seems in possession of some immense secret -- a man stranger than anyone suspects, or perhaps it's only an illusion. When his half brother Kristopher arrives unannounced, following the death of their mother, and moves in with Jon in his haunted dwelling among the cactus, a sequence of unexpected events is set into motion, and what Jon Silverthorne ultimately discovers within the profoundest recesses of earth's internal circuitry may show the world at last the colossal secrets that nature keeps. Neck Between Two Heads is at once a philosophical mystery story, a lyric ode to the natural world and, perhaps most of all, a deep and devastating examination of all things superstitious and violent.
