Welcome back to Pottlebury, a coastal town where ordinary things rarely stay ordinary and reality has a habit of filing its complaints sideways. In these linked stories, a municipal goat takes offense at a barn door with opinions, a traffic light develops a personal grudge against one reliable pedestrian, a retired foghorn refuses to stay retired, and the town's records begin to suggest that the strange events may not be as separate as everyone would prefer.
Funny, peculiar, and quietly heartfelt, The Side Doors of Pottlebury explores a town full of stubborn people, impossible infrastructure, and small mysteries that refuse to behave. Step carefully. In Pottlebury, even the side doors have opinions.
