The setting is rural Pennsylvania in the 1950s, in the midst of coke ovens and coal mines, as a young boy learns about the mysterious "Dr. Jones," a crazed World War I veteran MD who takes special pleasure in amputating little boys' arms and legs. In this unsettling book, the grown-up poet confronts the monster of his childhood. The sequel, "Torrance," delves into the sinister ruins of the local state mental hospital, where ordinary patients were thrown in with the criminally insane, and queries whether Dr. Jones was connected this cruel institution. Fact and childhood nightmares overlap in this intense chapbook, which includes digital art based on photographs taken in Torrance by a ghost hunters' group. The events in this poem, real and imagined, took place around Mt. Pleasant and Scottdale, Pennsylvania.
