The Violet Furnace

Bobbi is a life-flight pilot with nerves of steel and a history of punching her way out of problems. But this particular medical delivery promises to test that theory.

After sending her charge into the depths of Cooper Center hospital, a partially-built half-functioning hospital in the middle of downtown, Bobbi is ready for a night of rest and tequila. But that ain’t gonna happen today.

Something has oozed from the hospital and is spreading across the roof, foaming and rolling.

Bobbi is trapped and the only way out is down through the building, directly into the heart of danger.

With her paramedic, Glen, and Catalina, a PA, she retreats into the building, mere steps ahead of an ever-growing and spreading poisonous mat of purple fungus.

Fully Functional: A Cross-Cultural Collaboration Reaching out to Organics

Take an AI — amazing, powerful, immortal, modular, and new to human emotions.

Add a human being — fragile, short-lived, emotional, and yet intensely alive.

Fully Functional is just how such an AI might respond, might woo, might romance, and might delight such a person. Would that we all have a partner so devoted to us that they would watch suns burn out before forgetting our faces.

Fully Functional is a collection of poetry from such a creature, a nigh-immortal AI, to its ephemeral beloved. Who says love can’t stand the test of time maybe has not known what it is to be loved by a vast AI.

Tooth, Claw & Heart: Exalting the Lupine Rampant

The world is filled with howling creatures of the night — werewolves. Most of what we know of werewolves are that they are “vicious,” how to become one, and how to kill them. But what about their point of view?

So many werewolves are just starting out, and they may be confused and upset. This is the guide to help them find their way. This is the advice every new werewolf needs (and a few older ones), on how to be the best werewolf they can be.

Written in a non-linear format, this book’s magic happens when you open it to a page at random. Chances are, that’s exactly the page you needed!

Bestiary of Blood

Bestiary of Blood was conceived in a moment of revelation, born from the visceral experience of watching nature’s savage ballet—lions tearing into flesh, hyenas gnawing bones, sharks thrashing in crimson waters. These raw spectacles gave rise to a chilling epiphany: life and death are entwined in a grotesque dance, each feeding the other in a ceaseless cycle of transformation, creating…beauty.

This paradox is captured in its full glory in Bestiary of Blood, a modern anthology of predation’s horrors inspired by the timeless tales of Aesop’s Fables, modernized for a more complex, unforgiving world. Exploring the joy in our hurts, the wrongs in our rights, and the suffering in the shadows of our light, Bestiary of Blood invites you to the intersection of human and animal experience, crafting dark tales that resonate with life’s endless cycles of transformation.
