Reclaiming Joy

A sci-fi, fantasy, horror anthology

A world torn asunder we wander not lost but seeking hope.

Reclaiming Joy about perseverance, courage, and love. Each story explores a different situation where we must find some semblance of joy amidst a life mired by tragedy and trauma. For if we relinquish our hold on the things we love, the things that bring us joy, we may find ourselves trapped within a lonely abyss.

 

Joy brings light, hope, and inspiration, and is often found in the most unusual way.
