For fans of the mysterious (and regional!), Mark Jager has just released a TV pilot for Mystic Michigan, based on the eponymous series of books that delve into the weird and cryptic aspects of our state. The pilot is free and easy to watch on Youtube at this link: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=J_dRg51rbtM
It kicks off with an exploration of the Portland Cement Company’s abandoned company town in Lake County, central Lower Peninsula, just north of the old resort area of Idlewild. The production values are excellent, and the show has no shortage of interesting historical facts too!
And if enjoy the music in the pilot, it was written and performed by the band Starboard Quest - more of their work can be heard at https://starboardquest.com/music-videos
We try and keep Jager’s books in stock at the Canterbury, so come check them out the next time you stop in!
