"A delightful and immersive story collection that explores the rich variety of life beyond what we see with the naked eye. Drawing inspiration from myth, legend, and the everyday struggles of contemporary life, Zen Cho creates electric and lovable characters as they navigate eternal life, haunting peers, and instinctual desire. A wonderful mix of reality and the supernatural, filled with humor, love, and loss. Bright, dynamic, and completely wonderful. "
