This is a novel, but only in the most basic sense. Actually it's a novel wrapped around eleven separate short stories. Or maybe it's a short story collection enclosed in a novel.
The novel itself consists of a prologue and several intermissions, one after all the short stories except the last one.
The stories run the gamut of genres: horror, action-adventure, psychological suspense, humor, western and others.
The novel is about two writers on a camping trip along the Gila River in New Mexico. That's where the stories occur.
Come along for an intense roller coaster ride of tales, punctuated by writer talk and other tidbits of interest between a former Marine and his friend, a former adversign executive.
