    About this ebook

    Reflections is a collection of unsettling speculative fiction, weird horror, and narrative poetry. Some pieces have been previously published elsewhere; some are brand new and unseen. These stories and poems are echoes and mirrors. They are dreams of the future and memories of the past. They are waves of movement that ebb and flow, rising and falling in turn. They are proof that beautiful things can come from ugly situations. That sometimes—if I may borrow some words from my past self, first written in one of the included works—“there are times when the world seems so dark you feel smothered, as if buried, thrust deep within the Earth. But like a seed, nurtured by the tender hands of sun and rain, you’ll grow again. You will rise.”
