Water. H2O.  Adams Ale.  An essential for life.  Without it life is impossible.  Was it always that way?  In this volume of stories water becomes the landscape and narrative, a character more deadly and perhaps more aware of its power than us mere mortals.  We are beguiled by its sight. Whether softly breaking waves on a sandy beach or a thunderous storm engulfing the cliff face.  But also in other forms; as lakes and lagoons. Water is everywhere and where there is water is the shadow of menace.
