With a quirky, deft touch, Sean Monaghan's weird sci-fi stories engage and enthrall.

Studious student Juniper Groves just wants to catch up on assignments and figure out paying for rent and groceries. When a loud car approaches from an alley, she needs to take control. Before things tumble into dangerous territory.

An unexpected arrival, though, might just change everything.

Not just about the moment, but for Juniper's whole world.

Another odd tale of self-determination in a world gone crazy, told with Sean Monaghan's distinct, fun, propulsive voice.
