East of Memory, West of Magic encompasses twenty three stories in which fairy-tales collide with social realism, dystopias unravel alongside fantasy, and magical realism rubs up against absurdism. In this constantly changing landscape, past meets future in a jungle cabin, societies disintegrate, a park reclaims its ancient place, a soul chooses a new life-path, and a man is undone by his own cruelty. Threading through these diverse tales are questions about perception, belief, and what it means to be human in a rapidly changing world. Why does a mysterious mirror hold five generations of women in thrall? What happens when Claire ignores warnings to stay away from the park near her new apartment? Will a boy's brutal father get away with murder? Can three feisty maidens escape from the timeless patterns of fairy-tales? How will a wealthy gated community react when faced with a virulent epidemic? Why does Darren hate his father's new wife? What is the dark secret that haunts an artist's studio? Can Tess and Kathryn survive in a world that has lost its humanity? Journey down unexpected byways as your compass swings between Memory and Magic.
