The Moose Depart

By Bill Gillard

ABOUT THE BOOK

Spanning genres and themes—science fiction, fantasy, myth, flash, time travel—these lyrical and tender stories push past easy assumptions about what it means to live a good life. They take readers on a journey from long before birth to youth, adulthood, old age, and whatever comes next.

“Dark, humorous, gritty, weird, unexpected, and oddly satisfying.”-Tara Caribou, Raw Earth Ink
