  1. 1. Toad Words And Other Stories

    A collection of sharp, darkly comic fantasy and horror stories that blend modern domestic life with fairy-tale logic; each tale presents quirky monsters, wry dialogue, and surprising emotional depth as characters contend with curses, transformations, and uneasy bargains. The pieces shift between cozy grotesque and unsettling whimsy, mixing black humor with tenderness and often focusing on found family, grief, and the small violences of everyday life. Tonally adventurous and character-driven, the stories rework folklore and genre expectations with inventive twists and memorable voices.
