With startling vividness Dicristofano delves into one world view after another, leading the reader down disturbingly provocative and terrifying bunny trails only to yank her from the threshold at the moment of transition and toss her back into the darkness yet again.įresh and cunning, Paths to Divinity leaves nary a stone unturned. With each of the shorts in this collection Dicristofano toys with a different human perception of ultimate reality. Thus enters Paths to Divinity, a story of nothing less than the veil between worlds. Yet they are still stories deserving to be told and which we yearn to hear. Some stories require such diverse voice and point of view as to strain against the classic story arc of the novel. Paths to Divinity is not a helter-skelter collection of short stories (rather popular these days), but rather a reviving of a hibernating medium.
