The Divers and Other Mysteries of Seattle is a collection of 12 stories and two poems. Six of the stories are fictions and both poems relate fictional incidents. As the The Divers' companion book, The Burg and Other Seattle Scenes, the stories range from satirical to deadly serious, from empathetic to nostalgic. Unlike The Burg, most stories in The Divers include, in one aspect or another, something of the paranormal or unusual natural phenomena.
