Fragments of Cerulean, Short Stoires by Neal H. Paris
Revelation House Works, May 2025
Fragments of Cerulean is a surreal and emotionally resonant collection of short stories that blurs the boundaries between horror, memory, and myth. Structured in five evocative phases, this book invites readers into a world where the familiar becomes uncanny and the subconscious takes center stage. Each story is a journey through eerie landscapes — abandoned highways, sentient motel rooms, and cryptic machines that trade in secrets — crafted with immersive, cinematic prose.
This collection explores the fragile nature of identity and the haunting echoes of loss, transformation, and fear. With a tone that shifts between dreamlike introspection and psychological unease, the stories challenge perceptions of reality and self. Readers will encounter narratives that tug at the heart while unsettling the mind, offering a reading experience that is both emotionally raw and intellectually provocative.
Ideal for fans of atmospheric, genre-defying fiction, Fragments of Cerulean delivers a powerful blend of dark beauty and symbolic depth. It doesn’t offer easy resolutions — instead, it invites introspection and lingers long after the final page. Perfect for those drawn to the liminal, the strange, and the deeply human, this collection is a haunting exploration of what lies beneath the surface of our stories — and ourselves.
