From the creator of the Krakenstein Trilogy comes a tale of mounting terror fueled by scientific curiosity, government secrecy, and U-238: When a geology student stumbles upon a bizarre little cube that absorbs incoming energy and defies dissection and analysis, it's passed up through the university to government scientists who can't get any further with figuring it out either. Incapable of solving its mysteries, they decide to expose it to a nuclear fission reaction...which is exactly what it's been waiting for.

Where Things Find Their Place is a quiet collection of contemplative stories about calm, time, attention, and the hidden wisdom of ordinary moments—now brought to life through voice. Inside the Orion Library, small stories are kept with care. These are not tales of dramatic adventures or distant worlds, but gentle reflections on everyday life: a handmade cup… a river that refuses to hurry… a lantern that was already lit… a feather carried by the wind… a fire that quietly shares its warmth.

In this trilogy of witty and beguiling tales, you'll meet a shy and scholarly prince, a salon storyteller with a secret, and a modern-day woman who has lost her faith in magic...be transported to a different world, full of wonder and enchantment (that perhaps isn't so very different from our own world, after all).

A grieving father attempts the unthinkable to keep his child alive. A contractor discovers a secret in the soil of a haunted house. A community faces a plague after a drought-stricken lake reveals a forgotten cemetery.

A security guard, an irate girlfriend, and a pregnant lady with a very full bladder. This short story is about a woman who needs the loo...but it's also about the complexities of an LGBTQ relationship. With the results of her poor decision growing inside her belly, and the discontent growing in her partner's eyes, the pressure is mounting. Sooner or later, it will need to be released, and in this messy, complicated world, a little kindness can go a long way.

La luz de la vaca negra es una fábula que me contó mi madre cuando era un adolescente. Se trata de un niño huérfano y que gracias a su habilidad natural de poderse entender con los animales, se asoció con una vaca de color negro con quien pudo huir en un momento mas crucial de sus existencias. Ambos conocieron lugares maravillosos e increíbles pero lo mas asombroso es que cuando el niño se hizo adulto y sus preocupaciones le trastornaban pudo encontrar respuestas inmediatas debajo de sus pies o enfrente de sus narices.
