"Remarkable in its empathy, successfully conveying the difficult realities of death, first love, single parenting, alcoholism . . . Both an ode to loss and to growth, a dialectic that produces a singular tone and a dynamic plot. Within these pages, Koven has constructed an entire universe, and we are left homesick by story's end."--Shannon Greenstein, author of Pray for Us Sinners
"Captivating, awash in poetry and sensual detail . . . beautiful, sad, and full of hope."--Charlotte Dune, author of Mushroom Honeymoon
"To say that Koven's writing is evocative and exquisite is an understatement. Below Torrential Hill is a psychologically intricate story to savor."--John DeDakis, author of the award-winning Lark Chadwick Mystery series
Jonathan Koven, author of the beloved poetry collection Palm Lines, returns with a stunning fiction debut. Breathtaking in scope, intimate in its detail, Below Torrential Hill is a coming-of-age about family, memory, and reconciliation.
It's Christmas, and strange occurrences are plaguing the small town of Torrential Hill: a supernatural comet, undead insects, exploding streetlights, and a presence luring people into the woods. But when the mother of Tristen--a wistful, fatherless sixteen-year-old boy--hears voices from the kitchen sink, all he can think of is running away.
