Howdy, Folks!
I work for a newspaper and we were sent a promotionial copy of a book of short stories called "The Whistle Pig" by Duck Miller.
It's a literary puzzle, and the book starts with a description of "The Hunt" for "an unmistakable key" somewhere within the borders of the United States. Clues to find the key are hidden in the book.
The stories are short, but enjoyable. 'Duck Miller' is a false name, and I think I found who the real author is, but the clues are tough to crack.
There is no page '10' (actually, I don't have the book in front of me, so I'm not sure if it's exactly 10, but there is a page missing) and one of the pages has an 'x' instead of a number.
The stories themselves are full of cryptic passages, but if I weren't looking for clues, they might seem very normal.
I've heard that literary puzzles of this nature are more popular in the UK than they are stateside.
Would anyone with experience with these types of books tell me what they are all about? Perhaps if I saw what clues from other puzzles look like, then I would be able to spot them better.
We were thinking of printing a review, or an interview with the author, in the paper, but we want to make sure their is nothing dangerous about this before we unleash 'Duck Miller' on our readers.
