Allegory Stories

The Dreamer awakes, the shadow goes by; the tale I have told you, that tale is a lie... Portals to magical worlds, corvids that speak the meaning of life, and more await one who sits and listens to this sharing of tales between two anachronistic raconteurs, one of whom may or may not be Geoffrey Chaucer. Reader, remember this: the tales are pure fictions. Fantasies. Except when they are not.

Amidst a shifting dreamscape reality, the Moone Weaver is driven to perpetuate and resolve a single dream...but she is caught in a restrictive, parasitically symbiotic relationship with the Watcher, a Vampyric Dark Lord who repeatedly wakes her before she can consummate her Dream....

Little Faith has never done anything brave in her life - she can barely cross the village green without her heart racing. So when the King's Messengers call her to leave Mustard Seed Village and begin The Climb, she's certain they've got the wrong girl. Joined by a girl who'd rather sleep through the apocalypse, a boy who loves gold more than people, and a perfectionist who's never failed at anything until now, Little Faith sets out up a mountain that will test every one of them - past a cave that swallows greedy hearts whole, a bus that promises comfort and delivers nothing, and a darkness with teeth. The King's Kingdom is waiting at the top. The only question is whether her faith is big enough to get her there. A Pilgrim's Progress for a new generation - gentle, funny, and fiercer than it looks.
