An explorer dreams of a sea and a land beyond that can be found on no map …A naval officer becomes lost inside maps of his own making, his wife lost inside her pleas that someone search for her husband …And, as a singer struggles to make sense of the ordinary things around her, a hitman is trapped in an endless bid to escape …Meanwhile, two complete strangers plod through their day-to-day lives as they pour their hearts into writing a novel — but which one is the fictional character and which the author?An ever-shifting kaleidoscope, by turns moving and funny, intense and tender, Vitus Dreams draws you into a place where our basic assumptions about the real and the concrete are shattered to leave us with no choice but to rely on instinct and the people around us, if they exist.

A young woman walks, walks, walks... always in search of the wondrous hidden in the everyday. When she at last enters a place of marvels just a step away from the mundane world, she discovers that the urge to keep searching is carrying her towards a climactic and extraordinary transmutation. Part Alchemical fable, part celebration of the transformative power of the Imagination, 'Marietta Merz' weaves a spell that lingers long after the story ends. Originally appearing as a key story in the highly acclaimed collection, High City Walk, 'Marietta Merz' is a limited edition chapbook illustrated with original drawings.

Honza Pernath’s life is barren. The person he loves is gone and his friends, even his dreams, say she will not return.When a chance meeting sets him on a search for his lost love, the path is neither straight nor easy and Honza comes to doubt everything, including the one he searches for. A single image—a star rising over the sea—calls him on, but that image is more than it seems and as Honza nears its source, his search reveals more than he could have imagined.A sequel to the mysterious and beautiful short story, ‘Marietta Merz’ (now an illustrated chapbook), Child of the Black Sun is an exploration of the living symbols at the core of everyday life; a visionary evocation of the internal journey.
