A poignant novel about two best friends sharing yearning, rejection, and lip gloss in a close-knit blue-collar town.It’s 2004 and childhood friends Sami and Lucy are on the edge of adulthood. Lucy knows what she is going to do — she’s going to school and getting out. But Sami, caught in an endless loop with a boy, True, who is from a troubled family, can’t seem to get unstuck.“I’d used to feel, when I was with True, that I was safe, that he would take care of me, that he wouldn’t let anything bad happen. But now I wasn’t sure what I had constructed that from. His easy way with words, his confidence, maybe, his height. I was tall but he was bigger than me; in my mind he was bigger than anyone. Or maybe it was the surprisingly gentle way he’d touch your hair, your face. But in reality, he’d offered no more protection than a child’s night light against monsters, a tender deception we fall for, easily, before we grow up and know better.”The further Sami drifts from Lucy, the harder it is to not be guided and bound by her heartbreak for True, whose destructive presence continually interferes with Sami’s hope for stability and connection. As their paths begin to diverge, Sami must learn to navigate life in their small town — and the universe — without the one person she’s always counted on.“If soulmates were real, she was mine.”

In the depths of winter, in the shadows of memory, in the aftermath of transcendence—darkness takes many forms.A father confronts a creature born from buried guilt in the Ontario wilderness. A teenager stands at the water's edge, hearing a boy's voice call from the bridge above. A coastal town unravels after tasting something too beautiful to survive without. An elderly woman sits through a power outage beside the husband she never left, watching their marriage by firelight.These eight stories from Canadian writers explore the landscapes we inhabit when light fails—both the darkness we endure and the darkness we create. From dystopian horrors to quiet domestic reckonings, from folk parables to urgent contemporary drama, The Long Dark maps the territories of grief, obsession, guilt, and the stubborn human insistence on continuing even when we're not sure why.Some darknesses last a single night. Others stretch across decades. All of them demand we find our way through.
