Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but inside it's not delightful.When an unexpected snowfall of catastrophic proportions hits the Toronto airport during the packed holiday rush, hoards of stranded travelers begin to question if the so-called "snowpocalypse" is a work of nature, a human-made weather attack, or something else entirely. Then a light show arrives in the sky, and panic deepens.As the airport sinks into a sub-zero abyss, Candi Burns, a grieving flight attendant, finds what may be the only key to escape: a mysterious book of prophetic, trippy artwork.For fans of Annihilation, Station Eleven, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas comes a dystopian holiday tale of unending snow, bad coffee, hotel sex, smelly armpits, dirty panties, and a ton of LSD. Severed from her crewmates, and stranded in Canada without a winter jacket, Candi waits for the brutal storm to end; only it doesn't stop, and the temperature isn't the only thing that's dropping. Stuck inside, she must confront disaster, terror, tears, and lust, along with her new friends: Vybes, a young, wild fashion influencerFranck, a serious investor on the older sideGretchen, a war-weary journalistAnd Teddy, a donut dealer with a crooked tooth and a propensity for poetry But are they really friends? Everyone has a secret, even Candi, even the government she wants to trust, even the clouds, and certainly the strange, psychedelic book. Is the unrelenting winter weather supernatural? Extraterrestrial? The creation of a warring nation? A corporate experiment gone wrong? Are the winter conditions terminal?Will Candi make it home for Christmas? Will anyone? The author of Cactus Friends and Mushroom Honeymoon delivers another psychedelic tale, but with a darker, colder bent, a bad trip that begins on Black Friday and turns Christmas into anything but holy, calm, silent, or bright. Warning: drugs, sex, drunk people, and raccoons for dinner.

This book is a culmination of teachings, thoughts, and ideas, for elevation of who we are. It could be through questioning, words, and or statements, allowing each one to work its way through, in order to awaken parts of ourselves that might be quietly sitting, waiting for a nudge.

Melissa's deathbed request catapults her son Aaron on a journey from her family's Mississippian clinic to the Salish Sea to claim a mysterious legacy. Meeting his niece Rafa en route, he continues overland with her, and uncle and niece come to know and depend on each other. On arriving at the Saltspring Island Research Center (SIRC), Sarah, now the keeper of the center's narratives, confesses that Aaron's legacy is a task: to apply his mother's philosophy to SIRC's lifeways in order to revitalize it. While he had been immersed in his mother's medical philosophy, SIRC had used many of her ideas to found a fertility school. SIRC's encroaching apathy persuaded Sarah that they missed one or more essential processes of action, and hopes that Aaron may be able to pinpoint and provide them. Taken by surprise, but ready to step up, Aaron immerses himself in the community, and Rafa undergoes SIRC's initiation process. Uncle and niece come to love Cascadia, to relish local, burgeoning patterns of innovation, and to choose to stay at SIRC

Having come to know the community, Aaron receives his legacy as a series of enactments of SIRC's history. The surviving members of his mother's old friendship group-Sarah, Doug, and John-join the audience and performers in processing and adapting their shared narrative. In the intervals between enactments, Rafa undergoes initiation while Aaron explores the composer, an instrument that enables a player to evoke memories with images and express the player's responses as soundscapes. As Aaron shares his with Rafa, Sarah, and others, John shares memories of Melissa and seems to receive a new message from her. As the community adapts to changes in its meaning and purpose, Rafa and Aaron each find a first consort and draw inspiration from local knowledge keepers and change agents residing at SIRC, the nearby Monastery of Origins and Endings, or in Victoria or Vancouver. Aaron's health, damaged by his travel through a poison barren, deteriorates. With his death, his consort Parvati shares their legacy as patterns of living that may remove roadblocks to continuous adaptation and renewal.

As she leaves behind the wounds caused by profane sexuality, she and her new friends clash with members of Reggie's family who force them to flee and to begin again.
