Synopsis

Set in the dreamscape of the Kaats Kills, The Runaway Note is the fragmented story of two star-crossed lovers as they steal the devil's van, resurrect a dead boy, and re-experience their past lives. A pastiche of surreal romance, epistolary, and tall tale, the book takes the reader on an alternatingly whimsical and gruesome tour of youth, home, violence, time, and death. At once funny and menacing, inventive and human, The Runaway Note manages to find tenderness in the face of the inevitable end.
