""I was born in a land of bayous, raised between rivers,"" Glenn Blake writes. ""There is a place in Southeast Texas where two rivers meet and become one. There is a long bridge over these waters, and as you drive across, you can look to the south and see where the Old River and the Lost River become the Old and the Lost. You can look out as far as you can see and watch this wide water become the bay.""

These fourteen stories are set in the swamps, bayous, and sloughs of Southeast Texas, a region that is subsidingsinking inches every year. The characters who inhabit Blake's haunting landscapeawash in their own worlds, adrift in their own livesstruggle to salvage what they can of their hopes and dreams from the encroaching tides.

The Old and the Lost

""Set in the Old South of Southeast Texas, these tales are spare yet atmospheric, with a profound sense of place. If Raymond Carver and Larry Brown had a love child, the result would be Glenn Blake... A writer of tightly constructed short fiction is not dissimilar from an artist who paints miniature portraits. Blake is a master.""
