The Lost

"There are love stories in the underground. I'll tell you one if your want. It's a tired old boy meets girl, but it's got some power to spark in the dark. You can sit and listen, can't you? You look like you'd like a good love story." The Lost is a collection of stories about hope, tragedy, and the people our eyes turn away from. From a young woman struggling with addiction to a streetwise Santa looking out for his friends, these stories range from literary to magic realism. Inspired by the game Kingdom of Nothing by Jeff Himmelman, The Lost features daring, elegant stories of loss, redemption, and love. The Lost is edited by J.R. Blackwell, with stories by Kathryn Watterson, C.J. Malarsky, Sara Newton, K.H. Vaughan, Megan Engelhardt, Stephen D. Rogers, Meg Jayanth, Peter Woodworth, and Shoshana Kessock. Cover by Jeff Himmelman.
