Some people do not disappear all at once.
Sometimes, they begin to fade in silence.
In Stories to Keep from Disappearing, Noel H. Hodgson brings together a collection of intimate literary stories about characters carrying absences, quiet guilt, belated goodbyes, and small forms of resistance. Within these pages, there are hospital rooms, letters that arrive just in time, neglected plants that insist on living, empty chairs, brothers wounded by the same father, and open pages in the middle of the night.
Each story explores the fragile moment when someone realizes they may still be able to stay, even if they do not yet know how.
With a sensitive, direct, and deeply human voice, Hodgson writes about memory, grief, family, imperfect love, and the need to be seen before disappearing completely.
Stories to Keep from Disappearing does not offer easy answers.
It simply sits beside those who have ever felt themselves fading in silence.
