A chilling fable about a family marooned in a snowbound town whose grievous history intrudes on the dreamlike present. The Addisons - Julia and Tonio, 10-year-old Dewey, and derelict Uncle Robbie - are driving a vehicle home, cross-country, after collecting Robbie from yet another visit to rehab. Whenever a terrifying blizzard strikes beyond your town of Good Night, Idaho, they seek refuge in the city at the Travelers Rest, a formerly opulent but now crumbling and eerie hotel where in fact the physical laws and regulations of the universe are bent. Once inside the hotel, the family is segregated. As Julia and Tonio drift through the maze of the hotel's spectral interiors, battling to seem sensible of the building's attractive powers, Dewey ventures outward to a secret-filled diner next door. Meanwhile, a eager Robbie quickly succumbs to his old vices, drifting ever before further from the ones who love him most. With each passing hour, dreams and memories blur, tearing a hole in the textile of our identified reality and leaving the Addisons in a ceaseless search for each other. At each flip a mysterious make avoids them from reuniting until finally Julia is confronted with an impossible choice. Can this mom save her family from the destiny to become Souvenirs - those citizens trapped permanently in magnetic Good Night - or, worse, from disappearing completely? With all the fearsome intensity of an ghost history, the sensational spark of an fairy tale, and the mental depth of the best possible family sagas, Keith Lee Morris takes us over a quest beyond the world of the known. Featuring prose as dizzyingly beautiful as the mystical world Morris creates, Travelers Rest is both a mind-altering meditation on the type of consciousness and a heartbreaking history of a family group on the brink of success.
