Not the Same Road Out, edited by K.J. Denny
A collection of short stories from across Canada
Winding from sea to sea to sea, the Trans Canada Trail is the setting for journeys that range from the physical to the emotional and metaphorical.
A Bigfoot sighting on the Voyageur Trail is the spark that brings old friends together after twenty years apart; a Japanese Canadian boy discovers an alien prairie landscape from the confines of an internment camp; a night at the movies in a small town in Newfoundland takes a near fatal turn . . . The roads, trails, and byways of the Trans Canada Trail are the setting for tales of estrangement and engagement, mystery and melodrama, quiet horror and loud disasters, by emerging writers from across the country. This collection, which includes a story from every province and territory, is as varied and wide-ranging as the trails that cross mountain, prairie, river and forest.
