Where Worlds Split Under The Moonlight

Where Worlds Split Under the Moonlight
by Kayla Jones

Under the glow of the moon, realities bend, ancient voices whisper, and modern lives crack open at the seams.
In this powerful collection of short stories, Kayla Jones weaves together the mythic and the everyday—where Caribbean folklore, Taíno heritage, spiritual symbolism, and the quiet storms of young adulthood collide.

Girls searching for themselves.
Boys learning the cost of honesty.
Mothers, ancestors, guardians, spirits, and shadows moving through the spaces we pretend not to see.

From emotionally raw confessions to dreamlike encounters, these stories peel back the veil between the worlds we walk in and the ones that shape us. Heartbreaking, humorous, and defiantly human, Where Worlds Split Under the Moonlight explores identity, courage, faith, and the echoes of culture that follow us everywhere.

Whether grounded in reality or slipping into the surreal, each story reminds us:
We all live at the intersection of who we are, who we’ve been, and who we’re becoming.

A resonant, intimate collection for fans of magical realism, contemporary fiction, and voices rooted in the African and Caribbean diasporas.
