Waves of Light and Darkness

“Penetrating stories of connection and the dark uncertainty of life.” —Publisher Weekly’s BookLife, EDITOR’S PICK

In Waves of Light and Darkness, readers will encounter a diverse tapestry of the human experience, exploring the nuances of connection, loss, regret, and the often-unexpected nature of existence. The stories illuminate moments of profound emotion, quiet revelation, and the enduring search for meaning in a world that is often both beautiful and bewildering. The collection incorporates the unexpected and the strange, showcasing how life often defies expectations.

Set in the past or the near future, in a Kansas farmhouse or a potentially supernatural cave... the commonality is a search for something beyond what one knows is needed. The deeply creative multitude of unexpected perspectives—a cat, a coma patient, a ventriloquist—connect the short stories through universal themes of life, death, and human connection in an utterly novel reconfiguring. Waves of Light and Darkness challenges and delights a reader's perception with surreal and surprising world building.
