Finch was sent to the moon as a canary. They were one of the expendable—a soul desperate enough to risk their life for the safety of the 'real' astronauts. A decade later, they are the last canary left alive. Alone at the first lunar water mining station, Finch finds peace in solitude and the safety of routine.
Ray grew up hearing her father rant about corporations 'making the moon gay.' For her, that sounded like hope. She shaped her life around reaching a place where she could finally come out.
Except when she arrived on the moon to start a research project, Ray was left at a station with only one occupant—Finch.
Finch may have sparked Ray's journey, but life together in a dark crater proves far more complicated. Finch struggles to connect. Ray craves belonging. Both are haunted by what they left behind—and what the moon has in store for them.
Inside a Dark Space is the first book in the Lunar Abyss series—a queer, autistic science fiction story about survival and the quiet rebellion of staying alive on your own terms.
