A Touch Morbid

by Leah Clifford
In the second book in Clifford's Touch trilogy, Eden is searching for Gabe, who has Fallen in his attempt to protect her from Luke (aka Lucifer). In a chaotic netherworld in which Siders wind up Downstairs rather than Upstairs as Eden had planned, Eden herself is dying, turning to ash from the inside out. Clifford's paranormal world and unique characters will once again draw readers to the battle between good and evil, and to sweet and unsettling romances woven throughout each person's fate.

Sudden flash youth :65 short-short stories

edited by  Christine Perkins-Hazuka, Tom Hazuka, and Mark Budman

Featuring emerging and established writers, this anthology brings together 65 short stories-each under 1,000 words-that deal with adolescence and childhood. The collection displays a staggering amount of invention and variety.  Manuela Soares' "The Haircut," in which a teenage protagonist comes to grips with her sexuality and incipient lesbianism, is immediately followed by the revelation of unexpected humanity- and concomitant appreciation of mortality-on the part of rural children in Jim Heynen's "What Happened During the Ice Storm." Among the strongest are the pieces that are written from the perspective of an adolescent or younger child, such as Gayle Brandeis's, "Rapture" narrated by a young Jewish girl who has been spooked about the Biblical rapture by her Christian babysitter, or Caron A. Levis's "A Whole Other," a monologue in the bittersweet voice of a high school aged mother. Included also is more experimental, surrealistic work such as "The Perpetual Now," by Daniel Levin Becker, in which a boy's desire to live "fully in every moment" leads to an attempt to "eliminate.the useless from his dreaming state," leaving him "terribly, oppressively bored."
