In The Paper Crane and Other Stories, reality bends-not with spectacle, but with quiet insistence.
This collection of fantasy and magical realism explores moments where the ordinary collides with the impossible: where myth slips into history, where institutions attempt to control the unexplainable, and where individuals are forever changed by forces they barely understand. Spanning low fantasy, steampunk, and myth-inflected realism, these stories examine identity, memory, love, loss, and transformation through worlds that feel unsettlingly close to our own.
From hunters tasked with eradicating magical creatures in an alternate nineteenth century, to intimate encounters with the surreal that leave lasting emotional scars, each story invites the reader into a space where wonder and danger coexist-and where pretending to be something else can carry irreversible consequences.
Following the science-fiction focus of Theory of Mind and Other Stories, this second speculative collection turns toward fantasy in its many forms: subtle, strange, and deeply human. The Paper Crane and Other Stories is an invitation to step sideways into worlds that feel familiar... until they aren't.
