The Wooden Sea is the final novel in The Crane's View Trilogy from award-winning British fantasy author Jonathan Carrol.
From the moment a three-legged dog limps into the life of Police Chief Frannie McCabe and drops dead at his feet, McCabe finds himself in a new world of disturbing miracles. His small town of Crane's View, New York has long been a haven of harmony and comfort--but now he finds himself afflicted by the inexplicable, by omens that converge to throw his life into doubt. And what he does over the next few days may have consequences for the whole world . . . .

Review:
Frannie McCabe was an obnoxious juvenile delinquent in his teens, but has settled down into comfortable middle age in the small town of Crane's View as its chief of police; like other Jonathan Carroll protagonists, the hero of The Wooden Sea is about to find himself caught up in uncanny goings-on. First a dog walks into his office and drops dead--more importantly, it will not stay buried. Then a quarreling couple simply disappears, and then Frannie finds himself haunted by his younger, more abrasive self, and by visions of the last day of his life, as an old man about to be knocked down by a motorbike in Vienna.
From the Publisher:
What all this means and what lessons Frannie is supposed to take from it all are where the questions lie; anyone who has read an earlier Carroll novel will know the sorts of thing that are liable to happen, the sorts of thing that they are likely to mean--but any reader of an earlier Carroll novel will almost certainly be buying any of his books they can get hold of, anyway. This is an inventive and moving fantasy by a writer who more or less defined dark fantasy as a critical term. --Roz Kaveney, Amazon.co.uk
Twenty years ago Jonathan Carroll burst onto the literary scene with The Land of Laughs (Tor 2001), a first novel that The Washington Post Book World described as "beguiling and original, . . . an intricate, challenging, ultimately chilling tale, full of startling juxtapositions and surprises." Since then, Carroll has written several novels and stories, all filled with the unusual, quirky characters and events that have become his trademark. Now, Tor Books is proud to announce the publication of his latest work, THE WOODEN SEA (A Tor Hardcover; $23.95; February 15, 2001).
