Quarry Deeper!

Friend and colleague Richard Preston just offered a fine review of my new novella!

Walton’s tale, Quarry, is a look into a future that may well already be playing out. 

The setting is Los Angeles…where gangs of poor youth scramble to find resources for survival in an economy that has abandoned them. However, in this topsy-turvy world, the affluent hunt these forgotten kids for sport. Walton through his twists of plot, that his characters manipulate, attempt to seek accountability for the wrongs imposed on them by the affluent hunters.

Teo, Bob’s protagonist, has not lost his innate sense of “goodness,” acts to turn the tables on the idle and crass wealthy of L.A.  Teo’s “quarry” becomes the target for a clever revenge in his land of promise… Anaheim’s Disneyland. In a sense, Teo (God’s gift) leads his gangs to a victory over dark forces of capitalistic greed and cynicism. The road to victory down Figueroa and La Cienega Blvds is the path of redemption for the gangs and a new life for Teo and his acquired family. In the end, the “hunted” turn the tables… and the hunters become the Quarry.
