Daniel Braum's Creatures of Liminal Space explores the spaces in between places and the strange, weird, and numinous encounters you might have there. In this collection, you will find three short story length selections of Braum’s hallmark strange tales (including one original to this book), interspersed among twelve dark and wondrous flash fiction length selections. Braum and illustrator Dan Sauer invite you to traverse these labyrinths of the liminal, and join them on a phantasmagoric journey replete with dark and ethereal denizens haunting exotic borderlands far-flung and shadowy corners just next door.

Discover the heartbreaking secrets of a Loch Ness Monster sighted in the lush jungles of Central America.

Learn who or what the enigmatic Jaguar King is protecting with the wild cats of a remote swath of tropical forest.

Traverse patterns of love and loss and time—and learn if our friendships and truths, like constellations of stars, are real or perceived.

Ghosts. Hauntings. Monsters. Creatures. Cryptids. Fear. Darkness. Loss. Wonder. Heartbreak. Mystery. The Strange. The Uncanny. The Liminal. The Interstitial. Labyrinths of time. Love and Desire. The edges of civilization. Longings for the lost.

Braum’s intentionally ambiguous stories are akin to those you might find in the original Twilight Zone show, and will delight readers of Ray Bradbury, Lucius Shepard, Robert Aickman, and Tanith Lee.

“Emotionally complex, character-driven stories of wanderers, people far from home and far from comfortable in their own skin. Not since Lucius Shepard has a North American fantasist written so deftly about Central America. Braum’s superb stories are well worth the read.” —BRIAN EVENSON, Author of Good Night, Sleep Tight and Song for the Unraveling of the World
