To figure out how to stop the white-haired witch from doing something horrible in the future, two men of the Godley family must first travel backwards in time by eating meat that belongs to a prehistoric bug. Andrew and Harold Godley aren't what you would run into as a good friend of the family per se. Harold is Andrew's great-grandfather and there is no way that he should even be alive and standing next to Andrew's side, but the Godley family secret makes it all possible. The white-haired witch might not only be responsible for a possible apocalypse, but also for Andrew's parents' deaths. To save the world, Andrew and Harold go on a time travelling adventure that drives them to the very edge of madness.
There is a certain method to David Kempf's writing style in Travel Bug that isn't easy to get used to at first. It's like driving into some mad town completely sane and, once the tour starts and the town's madness starts to affect you, you might not leave as sane as you were going in. I found myself looking back through this time travelling journey, surmising that Kempf is in fact brilliant for writing this novel the way he did. Other than offering readers many different short stories, which the character Andrew himself feels obliged to write throughout their hunt for the white-haired witch, the author makes an Orwellian nightmare truly nightmarish. "It's hidden," the author occasionally writes. Reader, do you feel like chancing your sanity?
