Breath of Life by L.H. Moore
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 756 kB
Overview: Breath of Life is a collection of the work of writer and poet LH Moore, whose history-and-Afrofuturism-infused short fiction, poetry, and essays blur and walk between and within the genres of horror, science fiction, and fantasy.
In the short story “Roots On Ya,” a rural Virginia roots man has to undo a crossing…and beyond. A scientist’s ordeal is spine-chilling when she finds herself unraveling more than she had envisaged in underground cave tunnels under the sea. As a nation is being established anew, more than what seems to be happening is going on in “With These Hands: A Tale of Uncommon Labour.” In “Here, Kitty,” a female protagonist reaches a realization that everything that is lost does not have to be regained. As a young woman and her friends come of age, they discover a family legacy that will change them forever in the short story “A Clink of Crystal Glasses Heard.” All three of the “Bice” poems explore The Divine Comedy author Dante Aligheri’s obsession with Beatrice—from her biting, unamused point of view.
Find these and more in Breath of Life. With family and identity dynamics, rooted solidly in the past and imagining the future—here on Earth as much as elsewhere—Breath of Life is a journey into the unexpected.
