Death Makes Strangers of Us All by R.B. Russell

Hardcover – Swan River Press – Feb 2018 – 147 pages

“She loved to dream, although she knew that the experiences conjured by her unconscious mind were inherently unreliable.”

At the edges of everyday life, on geographical boundaries and in the margins of society, certainties and realities can wear thin. And if we find ourselves in such occult and outland territory late at night, we might glimpse phenomena out of the corner of our eye that cannot possibly be there. At such times even the past, apparently fixed and unchanging in memories and dreams, cannot be relied upon.

But what happens if we find ourselves passing beyond even these frayed perimeters of life? Can others follow us, or are we on our own? And just where will our final journey take us? How can we perceive or understand the changes that death will bring?
