Fictional Tales set on Nantucket, Connected by Geography and Theme

J Junker

Author and Nantucket visitor John Vanderslice has written eleven poignant tales set on Nantucket in a collection called Island Fog.  Spanning the years 1795 to 2005, the short stories include bank robbers, whaling widows, Native Americans, carpenters, and more.  WCAI's Mindy Todd talks to Vanderslice about his writing and island inspirations.
