Nantucket Slayrides Three Short Novels

Lucius Shepard

When the harpooner sunk his point in the flanks of a sperm whale, he and his crew were assured of a wild and scary ride—a Nantucket Sleigh Ride. But this is the late twentieth century, and that barbaric practice is no longer undertaken. No, we seek newer thrills. Take flight on a whirlwind, when the ultimate weather elemental tears up the island and few are left to tell of "How the Wind Spoke at Madaket." Plunge into battle beside a New Age witch and a blind man with the gift of sight, when an ancient darkness unleashes its hunger on "The Summer People." Survive the transformation of the world, when lost souls and desperate dreamers are shipwrecked upon "Nomans Land." Are you ready to move? Ready to shiver and shake? To work up a sweat? Then you're ready for a NANTUCKET SLAYRIDE.
