Published Works
Rue Sparks barreled into the publishing scene in 2019 asking us the question: “what if you could experience a day that (nearly) never ends?”
With their debut work, Daylight Chasers, they called the reader to think about our compulsion to document every moment, how little we truly understand about those around us, and how moments in our lives can be so beautiful even in tragedy.
Sparks has since published three other solo titles including the short story collection The Stars Will Guide Us Back, the magical realism novel The Fable of Wren, and a compendium of art, poetry, and short stories, Before I Go I Want You to Know. They were also featured in Skullgate Media’s Chronicles of New Albion and Cryptid Carols to the Sing in the Dark through Momento Mori Press.
Their current work is a Venn Diagram of visual and written media. They are currently creating Archetype, a series of visual epistolary novels dissecting tried-and-true tropes and story archetypes by combining prose, comics, news articles, letters, and other design elements.
