Overview

Who are we when we have direction and drive? Who are we when the rules we thought we knew disappear? Who are we when the waking world becomes as fluid as a dream? Songs To Dream By is a collection of short stories that blend philosophy, humor, introspection, childlike whimsy, minimalism, and speculative fiction. In this debut collection from Adam Moderow, there is something for everyone. A stuffed animal wanders across the desert to find the child that depends on it. A man wakes up in a morgue to a wizard interrogating him about his own murder. A hall monitor investigates the new music teacher, math in green ink, what the librarian knows, and what it all has to do with the sudden spike in detentions. These stories and more come together to explore the variability of identity based on context, the company we keep, and the goals we set for ourselves.

As Moderow weaves varied tales, some dark and some whimsical, the reader follows the threads in wonder."" -Laura Watson, Reference Librarian at Highland Community College"
