Overview

Compton's fourth book is a fabulist adventure love story about death and life after death that follows Adelard, who starts off dying and spends a long time in a strange gray world of undeath searching for his elusive and magically shapeshifting wife, Alice, before ultimately battling the mythological Native American beast the Wendigo. Along the way he spends time trapped as a hungry ghost, a bored immortal, and, at times, the Wendigo itself. Alice and the Wendigo is an imaginative exploration that also blurs the lines between myth and fact, what is imagined and what is true, and the artistic lie of fiction in getting to a deeper truth.“Held in a cryptic in-between place fraught with many Alices, new bodies that struggle to know hunger and monsters that once were men, Compton’s Alice and the Wendigo boldly unfurls itself. With every sentence a poem and its vibrant imagery, Compton completely captures.”– xTx, author of Today I Am a Book“Poetic, strange, mythic, and true, this work by Sheldon Lee Compton will take your breath away. It’s life and death and love and loss. It’s survival and transformation. The artistry is reminiscent of Matt Bell, but it’s Compton’s inimitable voice that shines through each and every page of this novella. Highly recommended.”–Kathy Fish, author of Rift and Together We Can Bury It
