Craig Russell grew up on what may be the flattest half-section of land on the planet, six miles north of Carman, Manitoba. He now is now a lawyer and lives in Brandon.

"One part travel narrative, one part spiritual fable, one part historical fiction, and one part adventure story - this tragic tale pulls readers in with its strong voice, richly depicted setting, and chilling confrontations with a shape-shifting Satan. Russell weaves magic into the narrative." -- CM Magazine

"Russell has told his fable... and it is done beautifully." -- Resource Links

"A truly unique story. The author tackles his fable with imagination and great turns of phrase." -- Jury comments, Manitoba Book Awards
