Divine In Essence

After God created the Prison of the World, he threw away the key. In this collection of uncanny and disconcerting stories, a few unfortunate but charismatic innocents seek to find it. Any luck? Read DIVINE IN ESSENCE to find out!

Ten tales of the Strange to unchain you from the Real:
* a young boy captive in his stepmother’s glass eye,
* the engrossing diary of a sassy and intrepid girl-ghost,
* an “impudent” woman consigned to a passive life in a mirror,
* a mutilated Fury ransacking the dream world,
* Icarus mired in Brigitte Bardot,
* and more!

The stories of DIVINE IN ESSENCE exemplify a sui generis slipstream style that deftly weaves a psychedelic literary fabric from elements of Irrealism, Occult Horror, Oneiric Fiction, and the Weird. Attune your mind and be transformed. Escape!

(Nota bene for trigger-sensitive peeps: contains disturbing scenes, harm to children, and ontological dysphoria—sometimes even all at once.)
