An Unlikely Companion is a collection of powerful work hand-picked by editor Brian James Lewis from works submitted to Spark: A Creative Anthology. Imaginative, gripping, and at times transgressive, these selections often fell outside Spark's guidelines or audience goals and yet, each was compelling and deserved publication.
The pieces in this collection are included by personal invitation from Brian.
The first author invited to participate in this project was Travis Hubbs, a professor of English and a PhD candidate at Louisiana State University. His passion and enthusiasm for writing fiction inspired many others and continues to do so. This collection is published in his memory.
