Description
Content Warning: This collection contains themes of grief, trauma, self-harm ideation, child loss, and emotional distress. Reader discretion is advised.
Seven stories. Seven prices. Seven glimpses into the dark places where desperate people make impossible choices.
In the spaces between worlds, a broker named Sors collects on debts most people don’t know they’ve made. He doesn’t create desperation—he simply finds it. Tends to it. Offers something in exchange.
This debut anthology weaves together tales of grief, loneliness, and the terrible things love makes us do:
- A woman drowns in guilt and wakes on a river between worlds, guided by a boy who has watched her forget him seventeen times
- An eight-year-old girl, invisible to her grieving parents, finally finds someone who listens—something pale and patient and very, very hungry
- A witch discovers her dead mother’s grimoire isn’t a gift but a trap, draining her life to feed a ghost that refuses to let go
- A woman’s perfect morning unravels hour by hour into catastrophe—and she survives it by laughing on a curb while her building burns
- Thirteen black cats stand vigil against death itself, dying by inches so someone they love can live a little longer
- A son learns what his mother really did forty years ago in a boathouse, and why she spent his entire life teaching him to forget
These are stories about the quiet hours—the moments when no one’s watching, when the weight becomes too heavy, when we discover what we’re really willing to pay.

You are not alone. If the emotions in these stories echo something in your own life, please reach out to someone you trust or a qualified mental health professional. Speaking to someone can make a difference.
