In this short story collection, Garret Ford, a weird fiction writer from Canada, weaves 11 surrealist tales about the paranormal, time travel, and hyperreality. These weird short stories are not for the faint of heart; a fan of both horror and comedy, the author doesn't overlook a good laugh. It is important to remember that he is telling a story, and he could not care less if it is morally or politically correct.

In a world fractured by magic and time, I, the humble storyteller, find myself piecing together a tale I can scarcely believe. It begins with a halfling bard named Digram, whose discovery of a forgotten melody sets him and his companions on a dangerous quest. The dwarf Beryl, the human noble Minelira, and the elven warrior Lord Vaelior all carry their secrets, scars, and simmering tensions into this perilous journey. Together, they brave forests alive with menace, tunnels steeped in shadow, and caves where trolls plot their next meal.

With the last breath of autumn, a blizzard rises, and the circle is closed. Trapped at the Iron Skirt Inn, Friar Loric awaits his comrades, however, something is amiss. The first snows are stained carnage red, and there will be more gore. Stalking death haunts the winter woods, ancient horrors awaken, hungry for the blood of man. Loric wades knee deep in dead as gnawing cold and ultraviolence consume the mining village of Fehrberg. A wintry tale of looming dread, monsters and men, and unbidden dead.

The text is a compilation of reflections and poetic narratives exploring various themes of the human condition, nature, and personal growth. It blends nostalgic reminiscences of familial warmth with philosophical musings on life's transience and the cycle of birth, death, and renewal.

As the Blue Jays edge closer to their first World Series win since 1993, the pressure on Toronto feels like it's about to explode. Between the separatist bombings and violent protests at castration clinics, you'd think Toronto had enough to deal with. But when a doomsday cult promising freedom for everyone sweeps the city, high strangeness reigns, and it gets even weirder. Grassfinch is a psychedelic fever dream filled with alien abduction, psychics, organ theft, and, of course, raccoons.
