"It is the most beautiful sight. The red on white."
Yearning for the Red is a collection of dark and sorrowful short stories and poems. In this book, Venus grants life yet not freedom. A Paperboy goes missing in the other world and returns silent and changed. Two soldiers hope to make it through the cold darkness, having given up on killing half-gods. Paper will be burned, forgetting how easily the world can go up in flames. And young artists sacrifice everything for art, passion, and the love of their revenant muse.
Though different, every character is yearning for the red: the red sun, the red moon, the red beauty, the red blood and the red flames. All are anticipating the end of their world and ache for immortality.
