About BC Books Online
BC Books Online was created for anyone interested in BC-published books, and with librarians especially in mind. We'd like to make it easy for library staff to learn about books from BC publishers - both new releases and backlist titles - so you can inform your patrons and keep your collections up to date.
Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."

Description
Urban paranoia and rural innocence are the themes of these stories, in which W.D. Valgardson moves effortlessly from examining West Coast city life to fishing the inland sea of Manitoba.
With a quietly understated and often disturbing realism, Valgardson explores domesticity, the trials and tribulations of ritual and routine, the terror of the everyday. It is his attention to the small details, the simple acts, that makes his stories so individual and accomplished.
