“A mystery that begins with the hazy memory of a forgotten sibling in a cage, spirals outward, entwining dark conspiracy with visions of utopia. Mesmerizing and unlike anything else you’ve read, Smoke Season will challenge your notions of what Weird and political fiction can achieve.” —Paul Tremblay, NYT bestselling author of Horror Movie and Dead But Dreaming of Electric Sheep
