Deep Sea Feline - Dave Hurlow - Bog

The line between reality and fantasy is pretty squishy.
Set in the forests of Algonquin Park, Toronto, Paris, and in strange dimensions beyond, Deep Sea Feline is a sumptuous romp of a novel featuring a cast of otherworldly creatures, musicians, opera singers and painters who are tasked with saving their city and restoring the equilibrium of life. Charlie Potichny, a failing musician, lost his mother at a young age. Twenty years after her death, a mysterious creature from another world visits him through one of her renowned paintings, gifting him with music that will turn his life and musical career upside down. As Charlie's life changes, his best friend Greg, a hedonistic opera singer, sinks into a rut of depression and drug abuse as his marriage falls apart. It slowly emerges that in passing off the mysterious creature's work as his own, Charlie has upset the power balance between two ancient gods. To restore their lives and homes, a colourful cast of neurotic artists and musicians must face their darkest fears, stage an epic opera and navigate the strange and wondrous
realms of the ancient gods.
