Crystal Skipper Press, 2024

The value of the journey transcends the goal of reaching the destination. A man ventures through the depths of his beloved's subconscious to save her, only to discover a deep-rooted secret that could destroy everything. A young girl and a newly found friend travel to the Middle of Nowhere, desperate to find a way Out. A teenager struggles to escape the clutches of a demonic blanket inherited from a deceased family member. A ServeBot is faced with the horror of re-purposing when the child she is tasked to raise grows up. A woman revisits her past to determine whether it's time to pull the plug on a scientific experiment that's sustained—and devastated—her family for decades. Fed up with entitled humans, The Angel of Death tenders his resignation. PASSAGEWAYS is a collection of 27 speculative short stories celebrating the importance of the journey. These tales—including science fiction, fantasy, and horror—introduce characters who traverse unusual and often unsettling routes toward their desired objectives.In these pages, readers voyage through darkness and light, fear and faith; toward understanding and peace. Sanctuary. Self-awareness. Being heard. Being loved. As speculative literary fiction, the stories in this anthology harmonize the excitement and otherworldly escapism that genre-based tales offer with the lyrical poeticism of language that makes storytelling sing.Passageways is the second short story collection from author Lisa Fox, following her acclaimed debut, Core Truths.
