Coalescence: to arise from the combination of distinct elements, growing together to form a cohesive unit. The four authors behind this anthology, with stories centered around various world holidays, use their unique blend of storytelling styles to bring out the universal whimsy, trauma, celebration, sadness, hard work and occasional abject horror that define the seasons that shape all our lives and can elicit the deepest memories with the simple smell of pumpkin spice or marigolds, or the sound of crinkling paper on a cold morning.
