About this ebook

Between doppelgängers and shape-shifters, magical healers and clever tricksters, you should trust no one – including yourself!

In this collection, 15 writers try to find answers to how we can truly know each other; on the way, they find psychedelic worms, supernatural roommates, new dimensions and the deeply rooted question of how to know even ourselves.

With stories by: Scott Beggs, Phil Cummins, Corinne Engber, James Everington, David Hartley, Tim Jeffreys, LL Garland, Lauren Mulvihill, Lily Nobel, Elaine O′Connor, Elin Olausson, Diana Powell, Shalini Srinivasan, Claire Watson and Rebecca Weinert.

Rebecca Weinert is a writer, artist, and cat lover who has turned her life-long fascination with stories into a degree in English and Literature that has taught her little about either of those topics. Her stories are either dark and unsettling or pure cosy wish-fulfilment. There is no in-between.
