Product Description
by Maria Velazquez (Author), Dana Moyer (Author), Nancy Jo Manly (Author)
Disquiet is a feeling of unease when there is nothing obviously amiss. There is no monster chasing you, no claws tearing at your back - but the shadows on the stairs are shifting, and your reason is at war with the pricking of your anxious instincts. Disquiet is what you call a wrongness with no name. In this autumnal anthology, a group of largely debut female authors make their mark on contemporary literature: In fiction and autobiography, poetry and fantasy, these stories share one common thread - profound disquiet. Honey Island Swamp Child explores those shadows which linger at the edges of our collective psyche; it taunts you and guides you as you map the bruises of our contemporary conscience, bolder and brighter with every passing page. Honey Island Press is an independent publisher of stories, poems, and essays by authors worldwide. This collection showcases exclusively female voices, and features work by Porscha Fayard, Katie Wills, Q. Sears, Dana Moyer, Nancy Jo Manly, Maria Velazquez, and Avalon A Manly.
