All hell breaks loose when lumberjacks in a logging shanty become unhappy with the cook.
A young man is terrorized by grave robbers and a frozen corpse.
A renowned prankster is driven to distraction when he becomes convinced that his friend has placed a curse on his new car and a few young actors spice up the school Christmas concert after stealing some rum.
These are a few of the situations and characters included in Garry Ferguson’s, sometimes amusing, collection of short stories, many containing echoes from a disappearing Madawaska Valley oral tradition.
