Beyond: A Collection of Metaphysical Short Stories

Beyond is a collection of young adult short stories by Ron Teachworth that spans cultures and settings from North America to Europe. The stories, connected by metaphysical and religious themes, range from the 1930s swing dance era to a modern science competition in New Mexico. Notable stories include:

  • "Play" – A girl coping with domestic violence.

  • "Callanish Stones" – A young boy found barely alive on a remote Scottish beach.

  • "Finding Edith Allen" – A young woman’s search for her birth mother.

  • "Mont. St. Michel" – A child raised by a Bishop in France.

The stories feature diverse protagonists, often in school settings. Teachworth, with a background in visual art, film, and television, has directed a feature film, Going Back, authored the children’s book Two Stones, and written the adult novel An Attraction Beyond Vows. He also contributes art reviews for ArtHopper.org.

Ron Teachworth, a filmmaker and painter, applies his finesse to the craft of wordsmithing with subtly beautiful results. Under the surface of these stories beats the heart of a poet with deeper meanings slowly rising and rippling off on the waves. Ron's vignettes explore quiet evocations and revelations that will appeal to your senses and stir your emotions.
