Cover of the novel Prairie Ashes, by Ben Nadler
Really enjoyed this novel, absorbing account of the Illinois mine wars pieced together by a 1980s punk with a demon of her own to exorcise. Historical fiction of the best kind, grounded in deep research and curiosity with a compelling personal story.

"There was something comforting about handling a machine.... The inexplicable could be explained, the right decision implicit in the conditions. Incorrect decisions were measurable. And if something went wrong, there would be a solution. Or at least a clear reason for scrapping the heap." Unequal Temperament, Cheryl Walsh

Moody shadow of man standing before a window.
A favorite line from Adam Galanski-De León's novel *Szarotka*: "You have made friends with the monsters under your bed."
