Strawberry Valley: Short Stories Kindle Edition


Strawberry Valley is a short-story collection by Keith Bran, with interconnected tales of magical realism set in the fictional rural town of Strawberry Valley.

The town is in transition: the logging industry is on the decline, the future is uncertain, and an isolated community is increasingly becoming a part of the greater world around it.

In Part 1: Wellspring, a young woman decides her future in "Periwinkle", dry summer heat beats down on a group of teenagers on a quest in "The Cross", spring-time buds portend a miracle in "St. Pete", anda snow blizzard interrupts a high school football game in "Undefeated".

In Part 2: Aether, an unexpected nap leads to a mass hallucination in "Alpenglow", a monster terrorizes the town in "Tarman", a crystal wields unusual powers in "Little Glass Mountain", and a mother's grief finds a voice in "Scholars and Champions".

In Part 3: Resonance, racial tensions escalate in "A Fight at The Rock", freshly-picked blackberries bring a community together in "Windsor's Drugs", and a teacher tells his life story (or is it a tall tale?) in "Wolf".

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Keith Bran is an author and essayist, with a deep and abiding love for magical realism. For over 350 years, his ancestors have meandered west across the North American continent, first landing in the Colony of Virginia in the 1650s, migrating to the Appalachian mountains of Kentucky, moseying through a ranch in New Mexico, and settling in the orange groves of Southern California in the 1950s. Keith grew up in rural towns across Montana and Northern California, where the fantastical folk tales of the west - of Paul Bunyan and Babe, Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane, and Pecos Bill - are ingrained in the mythologies of people and place.
