Title: Bittersweetness & Light 

Author: Anne E.G. Nydam

If you crave a little sweetness and light in a time that feels bitter and dark, explore Bittersweetness & Light, Anne E.G. Nydam’s latest collection of luminous short stories, poems, and artwork.In this book, you will visit a hidden mushroom world with an asteroid scanner, spelunk into a book with a librarian, study the Rainlings and their delicate raindrop homes, or spend a week in the Home for Dispossessed Familiars. 

Without denying the pain in the world, this beautiful book invites you to embrace the possibility of joy. From love potions to alien spores, and from dream fish to a puzzled ghost, you can find magic that can be knitted, glimpsed from the kitchen window, or assembled from a flat-pack kit. 

Spanning a range of fantasy and science fiction settings, the twelve fantastical short stories, ten evocative poems, and dozens of whimsical relief block prints are by turns poignant, humorous, and always warm-hearted. This enchanting full-color collection invites you to look for goodness and share reasons for hope.
