Voices in the Darkness — Kathe Koja

Sometimes the world is a very dark place. You know the magic is still out there, but it feels distant, or displaced. Voices in the Darkness is an attempt to create a link, to bring some of those voices together in a single work of art. Six award-winning authors lent their talent to this work. The stories are unique, and dark, filled with wonder and emotion.Included are:Nadia Bulkin's Vide Cor Meum (See My Heart) is a unique twist on true crime as fiction.Kathe Koja's Pursuivant Island will resonate differently with every reader, has meaning on different levels, and touches on an actual artistic event.Elizabeth Massie's Baggie explores the horror of losing control of one's life, self, everything to another.Cassandra Khaw takes you on a journey through the pain of bad relationships, while reminding her readers of their own self worth.Nick Mamatas takes on the historical character behind the old, old song Mack the Knife, in his tale, titled appropriately Ba boo Dop doo Dop boo reeBrian A. Hopkins' novella La Belle Époque, explores history, Winchester rifles, and addiction of a very personal persuasion.We all hear voices in the darkness; in the pages of this book you will hear six of them very clearly.
