| In the fictional town of Bonneville, good people lose limbs, fight lightning, and slip into sinkholes.
They
pitch over bicycles, tumble off ladders, and expire without warning. They spin the wheel and take their
chances. It's all in a day's work. Some blame God, others blame kismet, and still others rail
against random happenstance. All told, maybe there are no accidents. With Bonneville Stories, Mark
Doyon delivers ten compelling tales of fate and the freedom to choose. Echoing the wondrous oddity
in
the works of Roald Dahl, Ray Bradbury, and Donald Barthelme, Doyon's stories explore a quirky milieu
evocative
of the novels of Kurt Vonnegut and Frederick Exley, and of the television shows Twin Peaks and
The
Twilight Zone. Mark Doyon, a fiction writer and musician with the rock bands Wampeters and Arms of
Kismet, grew up in Fairfax County, Va., a stone's throw from Bonneville and the Shenandoah Valley.
Bonneville Stories is also available as an ebook on Amazon.com for the Kindle. |
