August Fiction: "46 Eastern Drive" by Elissa C. Huang

Elissa C. Huang - August 2, 2017

For August, we have a short story from Elissa C. Huang, about a young woman who returns to the town she grew up in, years after a tragedy that rips her family apart. It's a story that is eerie, heartbreaking, and unsettling in many ways, with an ending that just might surprise you.
