All You See Is Light

By Jerry J. Davis

It's 1977, and Tom Harrison is seventeen, orphaned, and currently residing in a state of clinical indifference. After his parents' fatal and embarrassingly naked plane crash, he is shipped off to the California coast to live with relatives who treat swingers' parties like a civic duty. Tom spends his days driving a '68 Camaro he's afraid of and talking to a grasshopper that might be a ghost.

In Cameron Cove, the lines between reality and the supernatural are as blurred as a long-exposure photograph. Between a photography-obsessed girl who stands over six-feet-tall, a rich classmate who might be a literal Muse, and a 19th-century namesake who died at Tom's exact age, Tom discovers that his grief isn't a problem to be solved-it's a gateway.

All You See is Light is a darkly humorous, heartfelt exploration of the architecture of loss. It is a story for anyone who has ever felt like a ghost in their own life, featuring a 1970s backdrop where the disco is loud, the absinthe is illegal, and the truth is much stranger than the light.
