Our lives are isolated by mortality, and regardless of our desire, they all cut inevitable paths to one thing--death. It's within the pages of A. R. Curry's stylishly-imaginative Death Bound that this is made abundantly clear. These stories are not only as unsettling as they are heartfelt, or as entertaining as they are thought-provoking, but as brutally unflinching as they are sensual. Whether it's a father mourning his daughter, despite himself being the one on the deathbed, an individual with a seemingly insurmountable identity issue, or a grandson merely trying to play with his grandfather, the characters within these nineteen stories find no simple endings, though they, like us all, are death bound.
This is a collection of short stories, a few of which were published. I am proud of it, but experience has taught me that I can do better. Every so often I get an urge to go back and re-write it, but I power forward, working on what's to come.
