Hew and Cry – Mirium needs money. For herself and for the family she has bereaved, the church she ruined. And there’s more and more work every day for someone willing to use a sword…

The Interpretation of Shadows – In this world, everyone has a shadow– strange creatures that carry the unspoken thoughts and darkest secrets of the mind yet are invisible to the naked eye. Daphnis can hear these shadows and uses his psychic ability to solve mysteries.

Hi, Strangeness – A liminal highway worms its way through the overlooked spaces of America, with strange geographies and uncanny phenomena. Grey, a girl who is afraid of her own reflection, travels on a quest to find aliens and perhaps something even stranger.
