Hellhound on his Trail and Other Stories
Hellhound on his Trail and Other Stories by Peter Trower (Ekstasis $22.95)
You gotta love a guy who can start a story called 'Runaway Jill' with this sentence, and have it be true: "It was 1965, the year I pulled rigging for Big Bart Clapperton on the risky eastern slopes of Goatfoot Mountain."; With an introduction by Mac Parry, who published many of Peter Trower's stories in Vancouver magazine during that publication's golden age, Hellhound on his Trail and Other Stories is more proof that Trower is one of the few irreplaceable talents in British Columbia writing. Trower's coastal memoirs in the realm of fiction are unsettlingly from a bygone era, eloquent with a raspy voice. 978-1-897430-26-2
