Angels, Dreams, and Partridgeberries

J. C. Chandler’s debut collection of twenty-six short stories will entice and delight readers with his riveting and diverse style. In “The Last Ordeal of James Willoughby,” a brilliant yet socially inept naturalist discovers alien beings scattered throughout his beloved Great Smoky Mountains. The title story, “Angels, Dreams, and Partridgeberries,” begins as a predictable father-and-son camping trip that ends in a harrowing tale of escapism.
