“My home is a red desert that trembles with spirits and bones.There are two reasons I came here: my father's death, and the lion man who prowled my dreams. Perhaps it was coincidence, but a man--half wild, ravenous beyond words--slid from the dream world into the mud of the waking one the same year my father left this world for another.Ghosts. Paw prints. I have tried to stay put.”
