A queer woman imprisoned in a 1970s asylum. A biology teacher on the run from an earthbound god. Two trans* teenagers living on a distant world inhabited by man-eating sky whales. A young girl struggling to make sense of a post-apocalyptic Earth. The product of genetic experimentation fighting for her right to exist. The only thing linking these characters is the thing that's haunting them all: something that lives in the dark. Colin Midhe's debut work of dark romantic science fiction combines the supernatural, superhuman, and sublime in five pieces of short prose that are sure to confound, confuse, and corner even the most intrepid readers.
