Flash in the Can

A collection of speculative microfiction by award-winning author Danielle Ackley-McPhail, featuring works of fantasy, science fiction and steampunk. With an economy of words, yet decadently lyrical, each story looks deep into the heart...of the matter... of a star... of darkness...and finds the strength and beauty of humanity shining through.
