Product Description

Doorways can be a bridge to another world, a portal to a bygone era, or a crossroads between two cultures—or two lives. Sometimes a doorway is a ledge between the racist past and a robotic future. A passageway leading to celestial spirits, or earthbound souls—or a crumbling castle adrift in time.Doorways are the ferries that usher us through beginnings and endings, steering us into possibility and misfortune, alike. Some doors protect us and give us privacy, while others keep us isolated and confined. Some doors trap people inside their haunted minds.In this book, you will find eleven doors. Eleven stories waiting to be opened. Each one a passageway into the unknown. Beyond the Latch and Lever is an anthology of speculative literary fiction with stories from emerging authors with ties to the Pacific Northwest.Elle Blackwood, Carlos Joaquin Gonzalez, Karin Larsen, Erik Amundsen, Susanna Skarland, R. L. Castle, Bobbie Peyton, H. K. Porter, Steve Garriott, Evvan Land, and J. S. Artz.Review by Readers' FavoriteEach story is fresh and vital. Each story contains the strange, the unusual, and the mysterious. Each story is told clearly and concisely, with the momentum derived from immediate engagement. Again, one suspects the writers and the editors of a deeply engaged collaboration. The result is a highly polished and professional work, truly worthy of its intended audience.
