Space, Collisions

by L.N. Holmes

"Three perfectly paced and elegantly written stories that leave the reader breathless and pensive at once." —Meredith Allison, author of Blood & Whiskey

"L. N. Holmes has a talented pen and a great imagination. . . ." —Renwick Berchild, Nothing In Particular Book Review

Space, Collisions is a micro-chapbook containing three brief stories. In "When Continents Collide," a man waits on the shores of the Outer Banks for the collision of the North American and African continents. "Trace" focuses on the intimate secrets shared between one pining woman and her self-destructing lover. In "Spacefall," two scientists take a break from work to drive to the countryside and bask in their friendship. Each installment in this short collection offers motifs of physical distance and intimate connection. Overall, the stories emphasize the common longing to overcome the space that divides.

Space, Collisions is part of the 2018 Summer Micro-Chapbook Series at Ghost City Press.

Short science-fiction (space) stories -- beautiful and wonderfully constructed, while remaining fairly short. Definitely enjoyable!
