[It] will satisfy those with a hankering for a taste of the dark side.<br>--<b><i>Publishers Weekly</i></b> <p/>A book full of cries in the dark, heavy drinking in the thin gray light of winter, and other dark poses.

Leebron, David L. Ulin, Dana Cameron, Kaylie Jones, and others. <p/><i>Los Angeles Times</i> book critic David L. Ulin has been vacationing in Cape Cod every summer since he was a boy.
