“In these deft and engaging stories Devon Code explores the subliminal forces that shape people’s lives and reminds us how deeply mysterious the ordinary world is.”
John Steffler,
Author of The Afterlife of George Cartwright and Helix

In a Mist explores longing, loss and isolation. This debut collection of short stories examines the lives of socially isolated individuals with obsessive interests and desires. These lonely protagonists find solace in emotionally evocative forms of cultural expression such as early jazz, classic cinema and renaissance motets. The transcendent potential of music is a recurring theme of this collection.

Devon Code is from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. He has studied at the University of King’s College in Halifax and Concordia University in Montréal. His work has appeared in Transits (Invisible Publishing), Headlight, and in the UK in Neon. He lives in Toronto.
