Summary
:
From a remote island on Canada's rugged east coast, author Eric Colbourne brings us another collection of compelling stories, some surreal, some filled with grief, and others in a lighter and more nostalgic vein. During the Klondike Gold Rush of 1897, a young couple leaves the island to seek riches in the Yukon Territory, a decision that leads to misfortune. An older woman reflects on her husband's terminal illness, her son's death, and her own mortality. A young man coming of age in the early 1960's learns to harness the power of radio waves to teleport to exotic destinations. The online world of scams and skulduggery presents unique opportunities for an individual with an internet obsession. These twelve powerful stories blend the sublime with the outlandish for moments of pure entertainment and self-discovery.
