Emily Holman (she/her) is a queer, autistic author with a Bachelor’s degree in English Literature and Creative Writing from California State University, Chico and is currently working on a Master’s degree in Literature and Writing at California State University, San Marcos. She is also an editor at “The Infinite Blues Review” and “In Her Space Journal.” Holman’s short fiction has appeared in Doors of Darkness by Terrorcore Publishing, “Into the Night” by Ghostwatch Zine, “Trembling with Fear” by Horror Tree, “Lust at First Bite” by Nebula Nexus, “The Manzanita” by California State University, Chico’s English Graduate Council, and many others.

I wrote these short stories (“Dreaming in Color,” “Theo’s Dreams,” and “Your Reading with Circe”) as a part of my undergraduate Honors thesis at CSU, Chico in which I researched dreams and their meanings, as well as their relation to the metaphysical, and produced these three short magical realism stories.
