Dandelion Ghosts: and other stories
In these flash-fiction stories, Jen Knox balances magic and meditation with captivating storytelling. Exploring the human condition through these modern myths, she broaches topics such as generational divides and similarities, enchantments mistaken for madness, the complexities of abundance, and the dangers of misdirected imagination. Short enough to consume in moments, these tiny stories unfurl and unfold, introducing us to new worlds with unexpected turns that offer pause and perspective, perhaps even a brief reprieve.
