Charon's Song: A Collection of Short Stories

Charon's Song: A Collection of Short Stories

Yolandie Horak
4.6/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
This speculative fiction anthology features a slew of award-winning writers and is the ideal opportunity to sample all that the Skolion authors' collective has to offer.

---

Whether set in the future of our Earth, or in magical realms of fantasy, whether facing their own mortality or dealing the final blow, death is a thread that runs through every character's story in this collection.

Some of these stories are gentle and hopeful, some tell of betrayal and despair.

For it is in reflecting on mortality that we can truly appreciate life and all that is worth fighting for.

Step into the boat, gentle reader, and join us on a journey through the dark.
