HOPE

HOPE: The Thing With Feathers

Stories to bring hope in dark times.

Inspired by Emily Dickinson's famous poem, these stories each have a feather motif and a hopeful, positive ending.

We all go through hardship from time to time, and hope is the ineffable force that keeps us going despite it all. In a time when there seem to be more shadows in the world than we remember, these are stories to rekindle the light and help us find our path to a better, happier future.

Stories of strange invention

As well as being hopeful in tone, these stories from talented science fiction and fantasy writers will bring you to weird and wonderful worlds of imagination - and feathers!
