A Boy Born from Mold and Other Delectable Morsels by Lorin Morgan-Richards contains seven delightfully bleak stories, beginning with Ruin (or Rune proper), who through extraordinary circumstances comes to moldy life in an old battered quilt left in the corner of a basement. Listeners should also examine other characters like Zoog, a young vampire, whose intolerance to blood causes bouts of gas and bloating, much to his parents' distaste.

Simon Snootle and Other Small Stories is about seven misguided tales of humorous woe by several downtrodden characters that are simply looking to be themselves. The book begins with Simon Snootle, a meager young man who lived most of his life at the bottom of a cistern with neighborhood cats. He is not aware of any tragedy of the situation, but rather makes the best of it, knowing that eventually more things will fall in as he did.

Me'ma and the Great Mountain is about a little girl named Me'ma who lives in an oppressed village called Sunken Creek. Faced with removal, Me'ma brings to focus her extraordinary ability to see ghoulish characters who try to help her in overcoming the nightmare she and her people are facing from an evil tyrant.
