THE CASE OF THE MISSING MEN

**CLICK HERE TO ORDER FROM CONUNDRUM PRESS!**

The Case of The Missing Men follows a gang of teens who have made it their business to investigate any mysterious happenings in their rural N.S. town as part of a registered after-school program. Their world of missing pets and shed fires is turned upside down when real-life kid adventurer Sam Finch arrives in town, enlisting them in their first real case—the search for his missing father. Their investigation leads them to discover a hidden world beneath their sunny town, full of secret societies, weird-but-true folk mythology, subterranean lairs, and an occultist who can turn men into dogs!

"There’s a full TV season worth of plot here, but plot isn’t really the point. It’s Bertin’s confident, idiosyncratic tone and Forbes’ small, unnerving, almost Jack Chick–like art that makes this such a weirdly warmhearted nightmare." - Daniel Kraus, Booklist

SHORT FICTION

BAD THINGS HAPPEN

The characters in Bad Things Happen—professors, janitors, webcam models, small-time criminals—are between things. Between jobs and marriages, states of sobriety, joy and anguish; between who they are and who they want to be. Kris Bertin’s unforgettable debut introduces us to people at the tenuous moment before everything in their lives change, for better or worse.

“Kris Bertin’s images are built to last. His fiction is governed by an explosive tension that is contained — but just barely contained — in careful stories designed to be just strong enough to hold. This is the work of a real craftsman, a writer who knows exactly — exactly — what he is doing.” - Alexander MacLeod, Author of Light Lifting
