Watermark | Christy-Ann Conlin
1 post | 2 read | 2 to read
In these evocative and startling stories, we meet people navigating the elemental forces of love, life, and death. An insomniac on Halifax's moonlit streets. A runaway bride. A young woman accused of a brutal murder. A man who must live in exile if he is to live at all. A woman coming to terms with her eccentric childhood in a cult on the Bay of Fundy shore.A master of North Atlantic Gothic, Christy Ann Conlin expertly navigates our conflicting self-perceptions, especially in moments of crisis. She illuminates the personality of land and ocean, charts the pull of the past on the present, and reveals the wildness inside each of us. These stories offer a gallery of both gritty and lyrical portraits, each unmasking the myth and mystery of the everyday.

I finally finished my first book for the #EasterExtravaganza readathon hosted by @Andrew65. I loved this collection of short stories by a new-to-me author. The stories, most set on the East coast of Canada, feature dark family secrets and have a creepy gothic feel to them. Conlin's writing is beautiful. I'm so glad I discovered this author!
