Outside Lands

The seven short stories in David Brunicardi’s debut collection transport readers to places both natural and supernatural. Set predominately in the San Francisco Bay Area, each resonant tale follows characters whose lives are dominated by events that are beyond their control. A young woman on a camping trip whose world is unraveling before her eyes, a man struggling to protect his wife from a rapidly deteriorating community, an outcast returning to the abandoned town that he wishes he could forget – these characters and more are brought to life in the Outside Lands.
