Barry Pomeroy is a Canadian novelist, short story writer, academic, essayist, travel writer, and editor. He is primarily interested in science fiction, speculative science fiction, dystopian and post-apocalyptic fiction, although he has also written travelogues, poetry, book-length academic treatments, and more literary novels. His other interests range from astrophysics to materials science, from child-rearing to construction, from cognitive therapy to paleoanthropology.
Lost in the immense sweep of the Manitoba prairie, forgotten by thousands in the faraway city of Winnipeg, the people of Ashton live a simpler life. Here Jesus appears and walks the dusty town roads, aliens hover over the water tower, a simple name enacts a life-long curse and nine churches struggle to save the townspeople's reluctant souls.
Defined by a main street with a post office and a grocer, a rink and the police station where Eddy Prosser tortures Aboriginal kids, Ashton is bounded by the dump to the south, where the Frisians live, and the reserve to the west, where no one goes. To the north, farmer Lohmer owns a spread so vast that the town registry has lost count of his holdings, and from the east come the storms.
