Histories Within Us

An old man is forced to leave his ancestral home and migrate to a new Earth. A long-dead woman is recreated by an all-consuming evil menace in the distant future. The last surviving humans hope to escape a decimated galaxy through a collapsing black hole. Two orphans must play a game against monsters to save the world. In these mind-blowing, tragic, and often touching stories, multiple Nebula, World Fantasy, and Eugie Award-nominated author Matthew Kressel takes the reader on adventures through time and space, love and loss, and what it means to be human. "A dazzling collection that explores distant worlds and hits close to home. Kressel's stories will open your mind, occasionally break your heart, and offer you hope in the end." - A.C. Wise, Sunburst Award-winning author of Wendy, Darling and The Ghost Sequences "Kressel weaves together beautifully imaginative tales that span time and galaxies, that are full of love, betrayal, heartbreak, and triumph. This is a collection about what it's like to be human in the face of despair and they are stories we all need right now." - A. T.
