What could The Duchess of Windsor, Natty Boh, a talking fish, and a goggle-wearing rescue dog possibly have in common? And what if you add to the list: love in an inundated mill town and a man more plant than human? Read The Monster of the Gunpowder River and Other Fabrications to find out. In his book of seven fictional short stories, the author takes the reader on a trip spanning over a hundred years without leaving an area of a few dozen square miles. What these tales have in common is The Gunpowder River and imagination. In this age of fabrications being presented unabashedly as truths, Michael A. Stang offers us fabrications presented unabashedly as fabrications. How refreshing!
