by Charles Payseur


The secrets of lives not shared, not taken, not known, all can be found in the eclectic fiction of author Charles Payseur.


A sentient star deals with the trauma of their binary partner having collapsed into a black hole, and gets a little inspiration from the intrepid humans that happen by; a lumberjack must weigh his own safety and comfort against the lives of the dryads whose bodies and blood could buy him the life he desires; a young man deals with the loss of his fathers in a future where cold has claimed much of the globe; on a special holiday, people gather to burn their burdens from the previous year, unknowing if they’ll return again with the next day; and on a ship maintained by cats and powered by ectoplasmic energies, the Emperor of All Things has died, and a young man is given a very unique opportunity.

"This is a sure thing for fans of progressive science fiction and fantasy." - Publishers Weekly
"These are fascinating stories united by the urgency of quests--for the perfect reality, for love and connection, for thrills that give life meaning, and for second chances. Elusive goals all, but one thing's for sure: don't let this collection elude you." - Sean Eads, author of Lord Byron's Prophecy and The Survivors
"Tucked inside each otherwordly landscape, or fantastical character in Payseur's collection, there is a deeply human and relatable heart. These gorgeous stories of loss, longing, desire, and hope reflect the world as it is, and as it could be, through a speculative lens." - A.C. Wise, author of Wendy, Darling and The Kissing Girl Booth and Other Stories
