Learning to Live: Mariah Tyler Moore’s Short Fiction Collection

Survival is an instinct. Living is an art.

In this genre-defying collection of seven short stories, #1 Amazon Kindle Bestselling author Mariah Tyler Moore explores the beautiful, messy business of being human. The Mariah Tyler Moore Short Fiction Collection: Learning to Live is a testament to Radical Resilience—the belief that our deepest wounds are not weaknesses, but the source of our greatest power.

Whether navigating the grimdark depths of an epic fantasy battlefield or the quiet, crushing exhaustion of chronic pain on a random morning, these characters are all searching for the same thing: a way to be alive that actually counts.

Step into the Moore Universe and discover:
Alarmed: A radically honest slice-of-life examining the invisible labor of chronic illness, burnout, and the villainous melody of self-doubt.
Body Count: A visceral dark fantasy where a warrior with a prosthetic limb faces monsters teeth-first, battling PTSD and the ghosts of a childhood fire.
Wicked Or Not?: A subversive, comedic tale of a half-elf sorcerer who keeps failing at being evil while confronting the scars of parental abandonment.
Humanity and Artificial Intelligence: An affirmative exploration of neurodivergence and pre-procedure anxiety as a child merges minds with technology.
Turning Off The Light: A devastatingly raw look at parentification, childhood neglect, and the agonizing necessity of going no-contact.
From the Journals of Dr. Eliza Holmgren: A therapist’s fictional reflection on a love that survives severe challenges.
All At Once: A sweeping cosmic journey of a soul living many lives—through war, terminal illness, and profound grief—to finally learn the point of it all.

Perfect for fans of emotional speculative fiction, trauma recovery narratives, and stories that champion found family and neurodiversity.

If you have ever fought a war inside your own body or searched for light in the ashes of broken systems, this collection was written for you.
