A Classic Masterwork of teenage love, anguish, and adventure set in the high-cascades mountain wilderness of Oregon during the 1960s, written by “Bang Bang” Wild Bill Seifert before his passing on October 19th, 2014. Copy-edited by Matt Danger and published digitally online and in this short run physical pressing, courtesy No Pants Records in Portland, OR in 2023.

Pacific Northwest author Bill Seifert delivers a powerful novel of the teenaged heroes who braved the towering Oregon Cascades when called to help solve the murder of one of their fellow mountaineers. Kids who stared into the face of dangerous killing zones of the savage, unforgiving Cascade Mountains, where lives teetered between life and icy death, and didn’t flinch. This is their story.

Bill was not only a dear creative and spiritual visionary, but a trusted mentor, a father, and a brother to me. Bill always said he could make another million dollars before his time was up if he wanted to- but it was much more important to him to have his truth told and shared with the world. We arrive as stardust, and we return as stardust. Bill and his words live on in our hearts and through his stories, the only thing we really take with us.
