dc.description.abstract	Sidereal Time is a novel in stories spread through time: from the defining moment with the church ceremony in 1985 until the initial character is brought back in the final chapter in 2019 to sew together earlier characters and events. The novel is as much about its rural Rustbelt location, St. Thomas County, Michigan, as it is about how its inhabitants deal with death, loss, nostalgia, and wonder. It is steeped in mysticism, fundamental Christianity, the occult; living oracles and foreboding omens. The characters, the place, and the magic explore time and place (space), and connect ancient figures in metaphorical and literal fashion—Marcus Aurelius’ blood, Saint Thomas Becket’s bone—to St. Tom County’s present. All of this while the Dog Star shines brightest in the summer sky.	en_US
