Description
What if Déjà vu was just a fleeting window into a reality with different choices made? Where dreams and hallucinations are enduring connections to a world long diverged. Could the passage to those realms be found again? So that we may learn to navigate away from the nightmares that lie ahead. The Desert Provides. The Desert of the Real is an anthology of short stories from worlds both similar and stark to our own. Worlds where angels and demons dance in veiled wars, where ambition and science collide to control the human experience, and where we discover others amongst the dark forest that is our starry night. This collection of eleven tales weaves its journey across a blend of narratives and mediums, each exploring the possibilities of literature through the lens of alternative history, fantasy, and science fiction. Some may be closer to home than we think.
