Moe Lane is a stay-at-home father who has been self-publishing books since 2020. He likes fantasy, science fiction, roleplaying games, a judicious amount of horror, and both general and alternate history. Eduard Karl Joseph Michael Marcus Koloman Volkhold Maria Habsburg-Lothringen (Ambassador of Hungary to the Holy See and the Sovereign Order of Malta) once remarked of him, "Rarely anybody has grasped that well what the Habsburgs are up to." He is the most interesting man alive, at least to himself.

I wasn't sure what to expect, but I'm very pleased with this collection; the writing is clear and the story conceits range from neat to really freaking clever; my favourite is probably "The Wicked Why" in terms of the story unfolding to have you realize exactly what your mistaken perceptions are, and "Impurities" in terms of just loving the idea and execution. Definitely worth picking up.
