Books by Chris Genoa

When Dale Alden of the Duxbury Historical Preservation Society awakes on the morningbefore Thanksgiving, there's a turkey hanging from a tree in his backyard, a duckhanging from a rope in his fridge, an ill-tempered farmer in his bedroom, cops on hisdoorstep, and his son's greasy, drumstick-clutching hand in his face. And that's allbefore he leaves for work.Mutant ninjas, a talking whale, kung-fu masters, maniacal Pilgrims and an alcoholicclown populate Chris Genoa's surreal, darkly comical and unnerving reimagining of thefirst Thanksgiving. Put down your feathered headdresses, puritan collars and buckledshoes and prepare to get schooled in the alternate history lesson they never mentioned ingrade school.
