Sun Stroke

A lyrical short story collection from an author‘s heart - blending the surreal, the psychological, and the powerfully personal. A girl raised by her shadows. A woman fading into silence. An immortal writer seeking rescue. A child who befriends her own eraser. In this haunting and poetic collection of short stories approximately 40 pages, Iranian author Samira Same blends memory, myth, and surreal imagination to craft stories that whisper of wounds, creation, and quiet dissolution. From the grief-soaked nostalgia of longing to the surreal torment of immortality, these stories explore the silences between people, the weight of loneliness, and the fragile shape of healing. Blending magical realism, psychological insight, and cultural resonance, each piece lingers long after the final line. For readers of literary fiction, emotional short stories, and introspective journeys, this collection offers a rare and necessary voice - one that dares to speak from the in-between.
