The Spirit Guide Bar First Editiion edition

It's the day after Christmas. Bill Snyder, a disillusioned high school teacher who's pretty sure he's been receiving signs from a higher power, feels compelled to wander up a mountain trail and into a mysterious valley where he undergoes a bona fide transcendental experience. Snyder's grizzled spirit guide leads him on a strange and powerful journey of self-discovery with Ernest Hemingway, the Scarecrow from The Wizard of Oz, and a mystical procession of curious characters at The Spirit Guide Bar.
