Overview

In Raymond, Washington, the rain erases things. Street signs. Property lines. The difference between the bay and the sky. Harvey Swick runs a bookstore where the shelves are organized by feeling-grief on the east wall, wonder on the south, and the books that bite back locked safely behind glass. He's been alive for five hundred years. He's been running for most of them. But Raymond has a way of making people stay. In these five connected stories, a centuries-old witch faces the sins he's spent lifetimes fleeing. A woman cursed into the body of a cat for four hundred years finally speaks her own name. A teenage girl learns that seeing the future doesn't mean you can change it. And a small-town deputy discovers that the town she's sworn to protect was built on a bargain no one told her about. The Drowning Season collects the first five Harvey Swick stories into a single volume-a complete arc of watching, reckoning, and becoming. Because in Raymond, the water remembers everything. And some debts always come due. Contains: The Voice Thief The Weight of Small Bones The Door He Left Open What the Water Wants The Drowning Season

Author Information

N. S. Streets writes dark fairy tales for readers who never stopped believing in the space under the bed. He spent twenty years writing in the quiet hours-the time between midnight and dawn when the stories come alive. Now, at forty, he's keeping a promise to someone he loved: to stop writing in the dark and start sharing the light. He lives in the Midwest with his wife, three children, and fourteen cats-thirteen black ones named after his favorite authors, and a tabby named Bobby Singer who sits on his shoulders while he writes.
