Still the Night Call

BEST LITERARY FICTION 2022 - Indie Reader BEST INDIE BOOK 2021 - Kirkus Reviews "A majestic and melancholy story of farm life, politics, and unwanted decisions in an amazing Ozark landscape." - Booklist "Honest . . . Poetic . . . Insightful and thought-provoking" - Publishers Weekly "A candid tale that triumphantly understands the Midwestern psyche, delivering moments of beauty and tragedy." -Kirkus Reviews (starred review) STILL THE NIGHT CALL is about Calem Honeycutt, a 32-year-old Missouri dairy farmer of few words. But just because he's quiet doesn't mean he's simple. In fact, Calem's internal voice eloquently leads us through his wondrous yet tortured past, his fears for the future of his beleaguered rural world, and his carefully laid plans to remedy the vicious Night Call that haunts his present. All he has to do is get through one last day on the farm, then he can free himself of being a straight, white, middle-aged man with nothing in his possession but a gun and a prayer. Through the eyes of Calem, STILL THE NIGHT CALL delves into the quickly diminishing world of Midwestern farmers whose livelihoods have become fodder for politicians and trade wars while their traditional values have become the subject of scorn and culture wars. The result is a struggling working class whose worth has been reduced to mirthless caricatures and economic dust, and who are desperately looking for hope anywhere they might find it.
