Abstract
Voices from the Abyss explores themes such as, death, family, identity, loneliness, survival, and immigration. The short stories in this collection offer a blend between speculative fiction and contemporary realism. Many of them highlight Latin American experiences, while another imagines a future where the dependency on technology has driven people to become increasingly isolated. Within these pages, you'll encounter a teenage boy learning to accept his tragic death, a college student processing his grief by talking to his brother's dead girlfriend, and a bilingual attempting to come to terms with his identity in an oppressive monolingual reality. This collection embodies the eternal struggle between light and dark through voices that are often overlooked.
