“Coalescence is a unique literary artifact, part chapbook part anthology part catalog teaser, a prism that flashes a variety of authorial visions. Whether it’s horror and black humor from Megan Mary Moore, the high concept fantasy of Signe Damron, one of Jordan King’s gritty conceits, or something from Etta Grace’s lush historical imaginary, this collection is bound to leave its reader transfixed and wanting more.”
Coalescence: to arise from the combination of distinct elements, growing together to form a cohesive unit. The four authors behind this anthology, with stories centered around various world holidays, use their unique blend of storytelling styles to bring out the universal whimsy, trauma, celebration, sadness, hard work and occasional abject horror that define the seasons that shape all our lives and can elicit the deepest memories with the simple smell of pumpkin spice or marigolds, or the sound of crinkling paper on a cold morning.
