Greetings! from Gumdrop Mountain
by Jordan Stewart

This is a place where the big heist takes place at Petcetera instead of the bank. A place where romantic comedy stars have secret horror chambers and where it rains bicycles on occasion. This is a place where anything could, and usually does, happen. This is Gumdrop Mountain.

Greetings! from Gumdrop Mountain is the debut collection of short stories from Jordan Stewart. This slim volume contains 22 stories culled from Jordan's website, The Broken Chair Essays, as well as new, unpublished work.  The often bizarre stories also manage to feel melancholic, offering a tug at the heart strings while never straying too far from the funny bone.

Gumdrop Mountain is available from Loose Teeth, a Vancouver, BC publishing house that focuses on first novels and prides itself on its ability to drink large quantities of whiskey.  Release date is October 10th, or you know, thereabouts.

Reviews
If you're on the lookout for a small, hilarious, irreverent and often surreal collection of short stories, Saint John's Jordan Stewart has a book worth your notice. Greetings! from Gumdrop Mountain is rife with irony and wit, sarcasm and, at times, something akin to heart-tugging. These are stories for grown-ups who like a bit of teeth in their tale; despite the benign-sounding title, they are edgy, filled with strong language and violence.
