Xeno: Short Stories of Obscure Sorrows

by Christopher J.H. Jones

Inspired by the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, by John Koenig, here are a dozen short stories of melancholy, wistfulness, mostly-cloudy skies with a hint of sunshine. From the urban fantasy of Oleka to the dual-ending romantic tragedy Tangency, Christopher JH Jones takes us on a ride through...if not the darker side of humanity, at least the bluer side, where its raining a bit, there's a cold wind, but at least we have a good book.
