Chase Cross, "detective" ordinaire, rolls into town behind the wheel of an old woody station wagon. When he careens into the Our Lady of the Woods Shrine, he grabs Mio, Michigan's attention, especially that of Sheriff Grace. Luckily, his poor driving retrieves the recently deceased bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Stillman from the apex of the shrine. Now, Chase must help Mio solve the murders and put itself back together. First he needs to convince the Sheriff to let him out of jail.Meanwhile, the Devil and Death arrive for their honeymoon, bringing with them a slew of strange, pseudo-biblical occurrences: water to booze, plagues of Ford Focuses, and cupboards filled with rice to name a few. Some will call it spontaneous omening; others will call it young love.Chase Cross is not alone. He has Bob, a cast of nocturnal statues, an angsty Jesus, and God, herself. Even with the cards stacked in his favor, the blundering "detective" might still manage to muck things up.

Of Rust & Glass

Dream of Rust and Glass is a speculative fiction and poetry collection featuring original work by Midwest writers. These men and women ask the question, "What if?" Their answers take us to strange, surprising, and surreal new worlds. What would life be like if the working class chose to take drugs to suppress their emotions? What if we went to space and came back to a world similar to our own but empty of everything and everyone we have ever known? What do blue skies look like filled with drones? What does a forest that grants everlasting immortality feel like? This book has the answers to these questions and many, many more.

Of Rust and Glass

Made of Rust and Glass is Of Rust and Glass's first literary fiction and poetry collection. Its pages are filled with original and distinctly-Midwest voices from 19 different writers and poets. These are our stories; these are the stories we live every single day. These are the things we are Made from. It is dirt and grime, sorrow and disappointment, trial and tribulation. But it is also small revelations, warm moments of closeness in unexpected spaces, and hope for a better tomorrow.
