Refugia and Other Stories

By Ashley Setzer

refugium
noun, plural: refugia
an area in which a population of organisms can survive through a period of unfavorable conditions.

This collection of short stories explores the places we retreat to when faced with large-scale and small-scale extinction.
It is also about sinister fruit, dragons, and the magic of language. From humans who decide to become gods, to the ennui of smaller, forgotten deities, these tales stitch together a dreamlike tapestry of experiences. Witness the cycle of humanity's death and rebirth through the travels of an immortal invertebrate. Learn why one should respect objects for their usefulness. Ponder the pitfalls of economies of scale. Journey across the known world on an endless bridge, and then journey across the cosmos with a cowgirl named Ginger.
Oh, and never turn your back on suspicious flora.
