Core Truths is Lisa Fox's debut collection of 18 speculative short stories that explore the quintessential values driving our thoughts, beliefs, and actions. Each tale culminates in a character's pivotal moment, the one that changes them forever. Sometimes their journey leads toward a rare epiphany or a beautiful resolution. But not every ending is happy.
This assortment of science fiction, fantasy, fairy tale, magical realism and horror features robots, clones, aliens and androids. Witches, vampires, sea elves and other mythical creatures traverse these pages along with ordinary humans living under extraordinary circumstances: microbiologists and metallurgists, settlers on distant planets, families surviving under dystopian regimes, individuals protected by a guardian angel or hunted down by a ghost.
As speculative literary fiction, these narratives glean their energy from the fantastical. Written to shine a light on the world, each story in this anthology is intended to make us think about who we are as people, about those Core Truths that govern the lives we choose to live.
