Time to hit the road: the minivan is packed, the cooler is chock full, and the lake beckons. Summer is the perfect setting for sharing short stories at the cottage, around the campfire, in the tent, or on the long ride to camp.
The Death Swing at Falcon Lake has a story for every occasion. There are epic tales of neighbourhood battles over the best fort, harrowing myths of the bravery it takes to walk to the outhouse in the dark, embarrassing accounts of first love at summer camp, and maybe even a legend about the monster watching you from the shadows while you read this very book.
Raconteur Jeremy John delivers another hilarious, heartwarming, and sometimes bone-chilling collection of short stories ideal for summer reading.
Brilliant, nostalgic, and funny...an instant classic.
Grab your sleeping bag and gather ‘round the campfire, folks. The Death Swing at Falcon Lake has it all: mystery, first crushes, and mayhem. It’s like Jeremy John rolled up all your memories of summertime — all those spooky, awkward, fleeting moments — and spilled them onto the page.”
From hilarious epics that will make you howl at the cottage to spooky tales that are perfect for reading when making s’mores, The Death Swing is everything that is great about childhood summers. Family, friends, fun and of course poop.
Wraps you up in the nostalgia of the perfect childhood summer. You’ll laugh and cry and cry from laughing.
Endearing and compassionate, mischievous though innocent, Jeremy John’s story collection summons longing for simpler days.
