Living in a post-climate disaster world protected by a layer of artificial cloud, Mallory knows every shade of darkness, their world lit sparingly by bioluminescence. But when Rein stumbles across their path—radioactive light bleeding from their teeth, their skin twisted and burned—Mallory’s worldview implodes, and the true cost of their survival becomes all too clear. A haunting cli-fi novella ideal for fans of Tiffany Morris and Stephanie Feldman, EVERY DARK CLOUD combines a dystopian setting and class-conscious narrative with a glimmer of hope for our shared humanity. Praise for Every Dark Cloud: "Part enchanting dreamworld, part blistering nightmare, Every Dark Cloud warns us of humanity's worst impulses, and reminds us of its best." — Stephanie Feldman, author of Saturnalia "Marisca Pichette's Every Dark Cloud is a spare, unflinching, yet wonderfully compassionate window into a future that feels all too possible—but even in the darkness of late-stage capitalism taken to its (un)natural extreme, Pichette never loses sight of human connection, both to each other and to the natural world. It's a quick, fully realized read with its fingers planted firmly in the soil, delightfully queer sensibilities, and characters I would gladly follow far beyond these pages." — Jaq Evans, author of What Grows in the Dark "Part dystopia, part horror, Pichette has created an inventive and emotionally evocative world where profound and unsettling truths are held in light and darkness. Every Dark Cloud is a gripping, genre-defying novella shot-through with beauty and sporror." —Tiffany Morris, author of Green Fuse Burning "Lyrical, graceful, and dark—Marisca Pichette’s Every Dark Cloud is a marvel of climate fiction. Pichette pulls off an absolute coup by creating an immersive world that delights even as it terrifies, down to the sentence-level. But don’t be fooled. This eerie world is not some far-off, hypothetical dream land of elsewhere. Pichette’s novella dares us to stare directly at our future, in the tradition of the very best speculative by interrogating a possible future, we can most clearly see our present." — Caren Sumption, author of Three Songs for Roxy and So Quick Bright Things Come to Confusion
