Avantgarde Stories

After loss tore her world apart, Raine Dyer vanished into the forest living in a forgotten cottage. There, beneath the canopy's twilight glow, she stumbles upon an ancient clay statue hidden among the roots. From that moment on, dreams bleed into reality. Whispers follow her. Shadows shift. And the forest remembers more than it should. A haunting tale of loss, isolation, and the secrets buried beneath moonlit soil.

There is nothing left to do-all has already been fixed-so just target the ones that are perfect the way they are...

Have you ever wanted to know more about the world of my novels, from the array of species that inhabit it, to depictions of elements from various stories shown in a different perspective? Then this collection is the tale for you... This book consists of worldbuilding footnotes and details about my stories' universe, and a collection of the various species that have appeared in my novels up to the present point, as well as various forms of literature, from short stories, to fictional guides, to poetry, and other experimental writing, each piece related to one of my past novels in some way or another. This anthology is an ongoing project, which means it will be updated as new parts are added, be it new poetry or short stories, new species and other updates that may come in when new novels are written in the future. While much of this collection is intended as a worldbuilding guide, it also serves as a testing ground to experiment with different writing styles and ideas. Dark Shards also offers readers a deeper insight or a unique perspective on a certain story or its elements. So what are you waiting for? Come and journey into the darkness with me...

Sometimes, we feel confused about stuff and sometimes, we crap in the toilet. I know that you are confused right now and that's the point, everyone becomes confused every once in a while. This book is made to confuse you with many weird stuff like abstract art, weird stories, and crappy quotes. I hope that you can enjoy this book because I made it weird. Enjoy!
