Goblin Fruit and Other Curiosities (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781649731852)

Goblin Fruit: Sweet. Strange. Dangerous.

Like the fabled fruit that tempts with impossible flavors, this anthology offers sixteen unforgettable stories that blur the boundaries between wonder and peril. From worlds that hold an intergalactic Night Bazaar to the island where kelpies swim, from retold ancient Greek myth to futuristic post-apocalypse, each tale invites you to taste something new-something that lingers long after the last page.

Inside, you'll find encounters with a baker's daughter who has her own twist on a winning recipe, a queen who demands payment for stealing a peach, siblings who must follow a trail back to their mother. These stories ask: What if Eurydice rode for the Pony Express? What if aliens seemed to follow the myth of selkies, but their skins are not for sale? Whether spun from myth or forged in machinery, every story carries the bite of goblin fruit: intoxicating, unpredictable, and wholly unforgettable.

Sixteen journeys. Eight illustrations. One anthology where fantasy and science fiction entwine.

Take a bite. Press the fruit against the roof of your mouth and let the juice drip down.
