Maidens, mothers, and crones all show us how a fractured reality-or a fractured mind-can warp even the most mundane of stories into a bizarre tale. From a twenty-something office worker trapped by a mountaintop cult to an unstable mother trying to resist the urge to flee to another dimension, each of these women steps to the edge of what they know and sees the impossible looking back.
Twelve stories, separated into seasons of life, meander through genres including urban fantasy, science fiction, magic realism, steampunk, folk horror, and cosmic horror. All set in British Columbia. Perfect for readers who are, themselves, strange and unusual.
