J.P. ARC reader What a captivating story! .Sonja Downey MLS The literary aspect makes DeliriumWilderness a pleasure to read .. Delirium Wilderness is a rich...fantasy .R. Morgan A Fever Dream of a Novel... 5.0 out of 5 stars! Delirium Wilderness bridges genres from childhood memoir, fantasy, to (adult) horror, to create a queasy disorientation that creeps in gradually, almost unnoticed at first. The setting and characters are lovingly but loosely sketched, giving the impression that blurred lines exists between the familiar geography of reality and hints of something beyond. These characters are seldom as they appear on the surface. As in much of his work, the "wilderness" of Brockman's imagination is very real, Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Those who know it understand the wild and beautiful and moody nature of the place. Craig Brockman surely knows it well. Readers of his earlier work, Dead of November: A Novel of Lake Superior, will not miss the almost "prequel" nature of Delirium Wilderness, with a subtle foreshadowing of at least one important character in Dead of November. The compact size of Delirium and the accelerating pace of the plot call for a quiet porch or fireplace, a hot beverage of your liking, and a careful ear, so as not to miss the poetry within the prose. --David Hopper, author of In Spirit & Truth Captivating , page turner, with clarity of words, so you feel you are there . There is a hidden depth as scenes and thoughts continue to draw my mind back for deeper reflection, several days after finishing this quick read. I highly recommend for those that like adventure and suspense. J.P. ARC reader What a captivating story! As in his other books, the author enchants with his descriptive language. His loving yet realistic depiction of the landscape of Michigan's Upper Peninsula is palpable and shows that he is intimately acquainted with this ruggedly beautiful area. Readers who are familiar with Brockman's work know that one is not done with his books after the last page is read. The concepts he explores in his writing staywith the reader for a long time. And Delirium Wilderness is no exception. The reader will not leave the Delirium Wilderness once the book is finished. ...Sonja Downey MLS The literary aspect makes DeliriumWilderness a pleasure to read ...The plain of delirium is...lost time, space, dreams, reality, life, and death.
