Overview

Not everything that emerges in springtime is meant to come to life.The proverbial expression “Hope springs eternal” was coined by English poet and satirist Alexander Pope, meaning people will keep on hoping, no matter the odds. But what if the odds aren’t in your favor? We decided to change the phrase into something a little more unsettling: Hope Screams Eternal.Spring hearkens thoughts of rebirth, rejuvenation, renewal, resurrection, and regrowth. What happens when creative minds nurture a more sinister mindset, awakening twisted and nefarious interpretations of the season of eternal hope? Authors, poets, and artists from around the globe accepted our challenge to answer that question. Within these pages, they do their best to unsettle you as they explore the dark side of spring. The seeds of doubt they sow will burrow into your subconscious, lying in wait to hatch when you least expect it.So get cozy, settle into your comfiest seat, and relax (but don't let down your guard!) as we bring your hopes and fears to life.Stories, poems, and art by:‘Hope Comes to Exhilaration’ © Ellen Hall‘The Flames of Hope’ © Zenni Abdon‘Hope Is the Thing with Feathers’ and ‘Scream’ © Fawn Allesee Russell‘Hope Rekindled’ © Robin Knabel‘Hope for the Future’ © Matias Travieso-Diaz‘Hope from Rana-257’ © Joseph Hirsch‘Hope Amid Shelves’ © Karen Lethlean‘High Hopes for Hassenpfeffer’ © Caitlin Moon‘hope is yellow-coloured’ © Kai Leung‘The Eternal Hazard of Hope’ © John Riebow‘When the Rabbit Screams’ © A.C.
