NORTHWEST
PASSAGES by BARBARA RODEN Published by Prime Books in
November 2009 ISBN: 978-1-60701-205-4 Hardcover — $24.95 — 256 pages (a special limited leather-bound edition is also in preparation. Further information will be posted as soon as it is available.) Be careful what you wish for. Young men in search of adventure . . . explorers driven to investigate the ends of the earth . . . a girl trying to find the perfect hiding place . . . a curiosity-seeker drawn to an abandoned amusement park. All of them are looking for something—and unfortunately, they usually find it. For the very unlucky, it sometimes finds them! In these ten spellbinding stories by World Fantasy Award winner Barbara Roden, very little is as innocent as it seems; but much is haunting, enigmatic, and terrifying. Where the Twilight Zone ends, the Northwest Passages begin.
