Jason has a problem. He doesn't remember anything before waking up on a school bus holding hands with a girl. Apparently she's his girlfriend Piper, his best friend is a kid named Leo, and they're all students in the Wilderness School, a boarding school for "bad kids." What he did to end up here, Jason has no idea--except that everything seems very wrong. Piper has a secret. Her father has been missing for three days, and her vivid nightmares reveal that he's in terrible danger. Now her boyfriend doesn't recognize her, and when a freak storm and strange creatures attack during a school field trip, she, Jason, and Leo are whisked away to someplace called Camp Half-Blood. What is going on? Leo has a way with tools. His new cabin at Camp Half-Blood is filled with them. Seriously, the place beats Wilderness School hands down, with its weapons training, monsters, and fine-looking girls. What's troubling is the curse everyone keeps talking about, and that a camper's gone missing.

Brad Liening's poems capture that cuckoo clock moment when the bird comes out and sings of the uneasy comforts of a fecund imagination. Their hunger for transcendence is purposefully comic but no less deep; their slapstick restlessness of consciousness, of what to do with consciousness is devilishly nimble, absurdly heroic and always about the business of the miraculous. This book makes me happy. -- DEAN YOUNG, author of Primitive Mentor and elegy on toy piano The poems in Brad Liening's Ghosts and Doppelgangers offer up a surrealist melting pot full of oozing, bubbling, nightmarish Americana.
