Welcome to this week’s Free Book Friday, wherein we give you the best titles in indie publishing for the low low price of nothing. Congrats to last week’s winner Traci for getting a free copy of From Away by David Carkeet.
This week, we are giving away a copy of Erased by Jim Krusoe. In Erased, Theodore Bellefontaine, the owner of a mail-order gardening-implement business, receives a postcard from his dead mother. “I need to see you,” the first card reads. At first, Theodore does what any sensible person would: he ignores it. But when he gets a second, even more urgent card, Theodore leaves his quiet home in St. Nils for a radiantly imagined Cleveland, Ohio, to track down his mother. Aided by Uleene, the last remaining member of Satan’s Samaritans, an all-girl bikers club, he searches for clues within the worlds of women’s clubs, art, rodent extermination, and sport fishing. Abandonment, life, death, and, oddly, Cleveland are explored in the hilarious second installment of Jim Krusoe’s trilogy about resurrection.
