<p>Traci Skuce’s <i>Hunger Moon</i> is a collection of stories that echo with the yearning to be replenished, to be made full. Here are characters at cusp-points in their lives, attempting to shift their trajectories: to cease wrapping up the heart's desire in a pink bubble by launching it into the universe. Some turn to ESP, some to a belief in ghosts, some to the future caught inside a glass bottle, each character taking the hackneyed adage “Follow Your Bliss” too literally to blissfully follow their own storyline.</p><p>Emotionally charged, evocative, and lush, <i>Hunger Moon</i>’s thirteen short stories each set out on profound quests to satisfy an emotional hunger.</p>
