A hundred and fifty miles north of Minneapolis and maybe fifty feet above the rapids on the Black River, Paul and his high school friends are far from the prying eyes of their parents. They celebrate their freedom and their youth with little caution and few concerns. Blood brothers without the mess; friends for life. But youth is short lived, and rich and poor, urban and rural, their paths are destined to be very different. This coming of age story asks: how does privilege, circumstance, and blind luck govern our fate? And what risks are we willing to take along the way? Hunting in the Dark is the fifth title available in the flash novel series from Bartleby Snopes Press.
