Just North of Nowhere

Lawrence Santoro's lyrical exploration of the fantastical, magical, bright and dark town of Bluffton (Pop. 671) in the "Driftless Zone" of the upper Midwest. Bluffton is a town filled with the strange, the wondrous and the downright dangerous: A house that prowls and preys on the curious, a blind man who sees a century ago; a time shifting librarian who wants to rebuild the world, just because she can! The 23 chapters of "Just North of Nowhere," comprise what Ray Bradbury might have called an "accidental" novel and includes Santoro's Bram Stoker Nominated horror phantasmagoria, "God Screamed and Screamed, Then I Ate Him."

watching all those decades of movies sure paid off in this little piece.

Wow! I love the images of the "stop" signs and the bridge rising and the frantic pace of the city juxtaposed with the lush, lovely images from nature...it's a beautiful visual montage that is enhanced by Larry's gift for language and makes me want to buy the book!

Thank you!

That's beautiful. I think that captures Bluffton and Larry's stories perfectly. :D
