The stories explore the realm of the supernatural as it complements and shadows everyday life. These are ghost stories in the nontraditional sense tales of the spirit of Native America. This is the second in the series (Turtle Dream is Book One) also sensitively drawn by Sid Hausman in a style that recaptures the authentic style of old western illustration. The book is an intriguing look at legend and real life, the stories featuring real people, most of them Native American friends of the author.

Rising from the depths of the North Pacific lies a fabled island, now submerged just 15 feet below the surface of the ocean. Rumors and warnings about Cortes Bank abound, but among big wave surfers, this legendary rock is famous for one simple (and massive) reason: this is the home of the biggest rideable wave on the face of the earth. In this dramatic work of narrative non-fiction, journalist Chris Dixon unlocks the secrets of Cortes Bank and pulls listeners into the harrowing world of big wave surfing and high seas adventure above the most enigmatic and dangerous rock in the sea. The true story of this Everest of the sea will thrill anyone with an abiding curiosity of and respect for Mother Ocean.

The selection of stories on this anthology comes mostly from the book of the same title, now in its fourth printing, and as popular today as when it first came out in 1991. Hausman here selects the stories that are mysterious as well as factual. He should know, he lived them, witnessed them and wrote about them in such places as Havasu in the Grand Canyon and on the Navajo reservation. The sound effects come from field recordings of desert animals, birds, insects and amphibians, and the music is by jazz musician Ray Griffin.
