Unlikely Alliances: Strange Friendships and Other Hysterical Disasters
What happens when goblins move into the suburbs, ghosts discover social media, houseplants develop opinions, and time travel goes spectacularly wrong?
In Unlikely Alliances, nothing goes according to plan-and that's exactly the point.
This laugh-out-loud collection of nine wildly imaginative stories explores the chaos that erupts when unlikely beings are forced to work together humans and monsters, ghosts and influencers, robots and the deeply unprepared people who live with them. From HOA-terrorizing goblins and viral hauntings to sarcastic AIs, sentient ferns, cosmic freeloaders, and pigeons with far too much power, these stories blend fantasy, science fiction, and sharp satire into disasters of the most entertaining kind.
At its heart, Unlikely Alliances is about connection-messy, ridiculous, unexpected connection-and the strange friendships that form when the world refuses to behave. Smart, irreverent, and packed with heart beneath the snark, this collection is perfect for readers who enjoy speculative fiction that doesn't take itself too seriously... but still knows exactly what it's doing.
If you like your humor a little unhinged, your genre lines blurred, and your disasters hilarious, welcome.
Buckle up, y'all. Things are about to get weird.
