About

I’ve become somewhat addicted to the idea of gathering strange and wonderful tales from relatively unknown authors and compiling them. I love the idea of giving homes to the weird stories that struggle to find homes cos they don’t fit anywhere. They’re like the narrative version of the kid who is always picked last. And many of them are gorgeous, they just don’t quite fit with the others.
