Chemical Valley

A short story collection by David Huebert.

David Huebert

An abstract green book cover with white script writing.

From city-dwelling preppers to long term care nurses, dishwashers to professional hockey enforcers to refinery workers, Chemical Valley's caring and carefully-wrought stories cultivate rich human emotional worlds in all the dankness of our bio-chemical animacy. Full-hearted, laced throughout with bruised optimism and a sincere appreciation of the profound beauty of our wilted, wheezing world,Chemical Valleydoes not shy away from urgent modern questions the distribution of toxicity, environmental racism, the future of technology, the climate, and the human body but it grounds these anxieties in vivid and often humorous intricacies of its characters' lives. These are stories about big questions, but they are not scared of sentiment. Swamp-wrought, they run wild with vital energy, tilt and teeter into crazed and delirious loves. (From Biblioasis)
