Tales From the Liminal

Stories that scintillate.

In this collection of fifteen curious and delightful short stories, you never know who you’re going to meet or where you’re going to end up. You can be certain, however, that you’ll always find yourself smack dab in the middle of some befuddling predicament of existence.

Using humor and horror, satire and allegory, fabulism and realism, Tales From the Liminal takes you for an extraordinary ride, submerging you in spaces where anything is possible, especially transformation. 

“It’s a breed of storytelling that encases an entire cosmos within a compact form, with prose that pulses with life, with tableaus that transfix the imagination with glimmers of divine order in an emotionally turbulent landscape…tinted by the surreal.”
Timothy Cech, fiction editor, Reed Magazine

“A sometimes dizzying, eclectic look at the hunger of the human soul for more. The collection at times feels like embodied philosophy, with perspectives contending. The images, at times, are almost surreal. They stay with you after reading, stirring up timeless questions you’ve forgotten, or the unformed whispers of questions you haven’t yet articulated.” — Dr. Matthew Flaherty, Literature Faculty, Bard High School, Early College Baltimore
