Synopsis

Every summer, at the edge of a festival field, people walk into the dark and don’t come out the way they went in.

Pell is an insurance adjuster. He prices risk for a living, carries a notebook everywhere, and has never once done anything without running the numbers first. So when he starts paying attention to the ditch, the ditch that locals walk past at the speed of a walking man and won’t discuss after dark, he does what he always does. He takes notes.

Junie and Lyle have kept their own records for years: a ledger of who went in, who came back, and when. Gus is learning to read it. And Pell is starting to suspect that the rules everyone trusts are built on less data than they think.

The Ditch is a quiet, funny, and strange novel about grief, ritual, and the small calculations people make to keep going. It’s for readers who like their magic understated and their characters a little odd.
