Synopsis

This collection of Japanese fairy tales is the outcome of a suggestion made to me indirectly through a friend by Mr. Andrew Lang. They have been translated from the modern version written by Sadanami Sanjin. These stories are not literal translations, and though the Japanese story and all quaint Japanese expressions have been faithfully preserved, they have been told more with the view to interest young readers of the West than the technical student of folk-lore.

At all times, among my friends, both young and old, English or American, I have always found eager listeners to the beautiful legends and fairy tales of Japan, and in telling them I have also found that they were still unknown to the vast majority, and this has encouraged me to write them for the children of the West.

    Delaney’s life is in ruins—her apartment flooded, her art rejected, and her confidence in freefall. Desperate for stability, she lands on her brother Marcus’s doorstep… only to discover she’ll be sharing the house with his best friend, Dax. 
    Dax, the charming adrenaline-junkie turned paraplegic, is rebuilding his life on his own terms. He’s cocky, frustratingly hot, and infuriatingly good at folding towels. Living with him means late-night confessions, accidental touches, and a chemistry that won’t quit. 
    But when Marcus returns from his work trip, he sets off a string of accusations, assumptions, and buried resentments that force everyone to confront uncomfortable truths. 
    Perfect for fans of witty banter, deep feels, and fiercely independent disabled heroes who aren’t looking to be saved—but just might be worth falling for.

    “Keep Your Shape” by Robert Sheckley is a thought-provoking science fiction short story from the early 1950s that blends satire, social commentary, and classic sci-fi themes. The tale follows Pid, a shape-shifting alien from the Grom species, on a mission to Earth using advanced Displacer technology. As the Grom crew confronts both the alien terrain and their own internal conflicts, the story dives into questions of conformity, identity, and rebellion against rigid societal roles. Pid’s journey becomes a metaphor for self-discovery as he wrestles with the oppressive structure of Grom society and the tantalizing freedom of embracing fluid identity. Sheckley’s sharp prose and imaginative vision make this a standout exploration of what it means to “keep your shape” in a world that demands transformation.

    Across the midnight meadow of Lunefield, where herbalists brew moonbloom elixirs from kissed petals and night bloom gardeners tend blossoms that unfurl in darkness, tender Mira kisses lunarly with gardener Thorne, whose garden harbors secrets of the moon's hidden light. Their elixir, brewed in petal vows and bloom-kissed nights, blooms love—or wilts in lunar eclipses of jealousy. As they harvest through moonlight meadows and petal-veiled arbors, bloomed by bloom rivals and night wardens, Mira's herbal tenderness fuses with Thorne's gardener nurture, unveiling a midnight legend of bloomed elixir. When a faded bloom summons petal moths, they must brew the kiss to revive the night. In the bloom of herbal elixirs, where every petal glows with desire and every moon whispers of growth, their lunar bond becomes the elixir that eternalizes the dark garden.
