Black Moon: Graphic Speculative Flash Fiction - Paperback

by Eugen Bacon (Author), Elena Betti (Illustrator)

Brief, strange worlds where love and war, life and the afterlife, hope and despair meet.

Black Moon gathers illustrated speculative flash fiction with prose poetry, shifting between literary dark fantasy and forms that resist easy labels. Each piece turns toward the peculiar: ordinary expectations come under question, opposites stand side by side, and the boundary between the living and the afterlife grows uncertain.

For curious readers drawn to philosophical fiction, shadowed imaginings, and poetry in prose, this collection offers a varied reading experience across 72 pages. Its concise stories and poetic interludes move between tenderness and conflict, possibility and loss. Enter these unusual pages with an open mind: what might seem normal at first can look very different from the other side.
