  • Charleswood Road

    August 1st, 2014

    The fiction and prose selections included in Charleswood Road contrast stark reality with fantasy, mortality with transcendence and explore both the mundane and pivotal choices people make in shaping their world.Each selection, neither predictable nor conventional, challenges one’s assumptions of what is real and what is possible and inspires one to question the role of fate and fortune in one’s own life.From first kisses to last breaths and everything in between, sentiment is stripped away to reveal both the allure and acrimony of humanity.
