From Someplace Else
The decade between 1961 and 1971 was a time of tumult; of innocence lost, gained, and lost again. During those years, Ralph Osborne moved from the confusions of being 17 to, briefly, believing that at 27, he knew everything. It is, he says, “my version of the Divine Comedy — more comedic than divine.” From Someplace Else is an often hilarious, occasionally tragic account of the exploration of boundaries, inner and outer, through a time of free love and psychedelic adventure. And because the paths between Heaven and Hell, good and bad, and up and down are not linear, this book is necessarily an account of one man’s first trip around the circle. Osborne’s Holy Grail is identity. His quest, in which he sets out to learn “a small piece of the puzzle — one little thing I could know for certain,” takes him from a working-class tenement on the east coast, through the privileged confines of Westmount, west to the cleansing air of the prairies, and east again, to the stoned-out beginnings of Toronto-the-hip where he becomes general manager of the infamous Rochdale College. From Someplace Else is a journey driven by the ever-relevant question: to be, or to become? It’s also the slightly surreal description of the thin line between simplicity and squalor.

Someplace Else
Is there Love After Death? When you leave your body, where do you go? Star-crossed young lovers meet in an ethereal borderland between life and death, called Someplace Else. One of them is alive, and the other is not; but they soon discover that there are fates worse than death. Unimaginable danger surrounds them: a lethal Garden of Eden; ghost towns inhabited by real ghosts; a bottomless blue hole of drowned spirits. Inside Someplace Else, desperate souls prey on the living. The Sun is a god, and Light and Dark rule their own kingdoms. The real-life setting is the otherworldly wilderness of the New Jersey Pine Barrens, home to the infamous Jersey Devil. Someplace Else is a supernatural love story more chilling, heartbreaking and purely romantic than any you have ever read. ForeWord Clarion Book Review
