This is the second fiction offering in our Signature Series, released as a hand-crafted print chapbook and forthcoming e-book. This chapbook contains 15 short stories, five of which are exclusively unveiled within its pages.

Eric Beeny blurs the line between prose and poetry in this collection. His seemingly-simple tales of the way we cope with love and loss are woven into a rhythmic cloth. Rich in detail, even the Twitter-sized stories leave an afterimage.

 

Praise for Eric's work:

A quaint and mysterious little collection that balances the unreal and real. Eric Beeny writes with a child-like wonder, resulting in powerful surreal images, and a yearning for human connection. It’s a satisfying balancing act that I enjoyed immensely. I’m looking forward to the next thing Eric Beeny does.
—Shane Jones, author of Light Boxes
