E D Casalena

Vessel E D Casalena

Perception and existence within a body can be both beautiful and terrifying.

A woman wakes underwater inside of a brilliant, otherworldly body. A young man meets a tender ghost. A witch with a secret will do anything to save her husband from the grip of death. A young woman grows a motherly bond with an eldritch creature. A girl cannot break the bonds between mental illness and her body, even after death.

The debut anthology novella by Arizona-based author E. D. Casalena, Vessel explores the body as a source of intrigue and violence, joy and sorrow, liberation and horror.
