Planet Desolate But Still Worth Reading About

“The DESERT ORACLE is a pocket-sized field guide to the fascinating American deserts: weird tales, ghost towns, wonderfully bizarre animals and plants, mysteries and folklore, national and state parks, slickrock arches, legends of lost mines and ships on the sand dunes, beloved authors and artists, and plenty of oddball desert characters from the past and the present.” — Awl pal Ken Layne has a new magazine, which you can subscribe to here.
