- “Detroit is coming back” they say. “Detroit is being born again.” You look into the window of an abandoned skyscraper downtown, see something shift in the darkness. You wonder if they know the difference between rebirth and reanimation.

- Across the river from Detroit is Windsor. You get to Windsor by bridge or by tunnel. Oh, not now, you can’t go now. But someday, you’ll go to Windsor, and whether you travel by bridge or by tunnel will determine your fate.

- They say Lake Superior never gives up her dead. But your uncle once told you that, on a cold night in May, he saw them walking beaches, bodies cold blue and waterlogged.

- Rabid bats live in the old abandoned copper mines. But more dangerous than the bats are the ghosts of miners killed in cave-ins; men longing for a glimpse of the sun, and willing to do anything to get it.

- “You can’t get lost on the Seeney Stretch” they say. “It’s just 23 miles of perfectly straight road from Seeney to L’anse. If you can’t get lost, then why do so many people start driving in Seeney, and never end up in L’anse?

- There’s a road up in the Porcupine Mountains that leads to the End of the World. There’s signs leading up to it, warning people of how close they are, but every year, a few people ignore the signs and drive straight over the edge.

- Monsters lurk in the forests of the Upper Peninsula. Monsters, and men that may make you wish you met the monsters.
