Tales From the Trail

Short Fiction About Dogs, Mushing, and Sled-Dog Races

In 21 and a half pieces of short fiction, the writer/director of Mush: The Movie explores the broad terrain of sled-dog racing and take you inside the minds of dogs and mushers. These unusual and unexpected perspectives on the world of mushing include the wide-eyed thrill of puppies, the bittersweet memories of a dog running his last race, the meandering thoughts of an ancient river, the hopes of a Widow’s Lamp, a Robert Service-like ode to spirits haunting a frozen stretch of sea ice, the joys of different kinds of victories, and even a rebuttal from a jealous cat.

A new collection from the author of No, Mr. Bond, I Expect Your Dreams to Die.
