Synopsis: Sing me a story. Tell me a song.
Time is a breaking instrument, warping once-familiar melodies the longer they are played. A triumphant note becomes one of loss; a hollow chord is filled with memories. Shout out, and hear fairytale lyrics grow ever-more distorted, transformed by the length of dandelion fields—by wending museum hallways—by the apotheosis of gods at the end of all things.
Themes of loneliness, love, and lamentation harmonize in stories in the minor key, a thirteen tale collection of dark fiction inspired by music, myths, and monsters.
So take a breath. Listen close. Know that fate is orchestrated.

Synopsis: In the bowels of an unassuming, ever-moving funerary parlor, a mortician known as the Operator hides a fearsome machine called the Godwin, rumored to have the ability to resurrect the dead. It runs, like a soul does, on logos: on words. And in exchange for those words—for a client’s life story—the corpse of their choosing might yet walk again. Careful, though. Words bear weight, so one must choose them wisely. Author M. Regan delivers a harrowing and beautiful glimpse into a world filled with desire, darkness, love, and loss.
