Mourning Fields is a collection of Greek myths retold as dark fictions in the modern day.  

When we romanticize unrequited love, what lessons do we teach? The Mourning Fields puts Greek myths into modern contexts, asking what the stories look like today and what consequences might follow. Perfect for readers who love weird tales of catharsis like those written by Sharma Shields or Carmen Maria Machado.

David Beaumier is the youngest recipient of the Village Books Literary Citizenship Award. They have worked in the publishing industry and been a member of the Bellingham writing community for the last twelve years, including as the Assistant Publishing Director at Village Books. They currently help market indie authors and small presses with Chanticleer Book Reviews. When not writing, David teaches Argentine tango locally.
