What happens when Bigfoot lands a reality show—and then vanishes without a trace?
When a reclusive cryptid from Ohio’s misty woods skyrockets to international stardom, the world can’t get enough of the Ohio Grassman. After the shaggy icon rockets to fame and crashes into addiction and disillusionment, his sudden disappearance ignites a national obsession.
As he drifts into the wilderness on a surreal odyssey of mysticism and myth, an eccentric trio—a lumber tycoon, his weary assistant, and a pet psychic with a dubious gift—takes up the hunt, uncovering a world straddled somewhere between reality and legend.
Meanwhile, corporate burnout Derek “Blue” North is fleeing a different kind of madness. Escaping the grind, he proposes to his girlfriend and heads west in search of renewal. But the road has its own tests, and the closer they get to freedom, the further they drift from each other.
Equal parts satire, fable, and absurdist road novel, Avalanche is a darkly funny, sharply observed exploration of myth, identity, and community in modern-day America.
