"The small southern Ontario town known as The Pump lies at the crossroads of this world's violence -- a tainted water supply, an apathetic municipal government, the Gothic decay of rural domesticity -- and another’s. In Brooman’s interconnected stories, no one is immune to The Pump’'s sacrificial games. Lighthouse dwellers, Boy Scouts, queer church camp leaders, love-sick and sick-sick writers, nine-year-old hunters, art-eaters -- each must navigate the swamp of their own morality while living on land that is always slowly (and sometimes very quickly) killing them." --publisher's website.

Short stories, Canadian.
