My soft sci-fi novella, THE LEGEND LIMINAL, is out today from @starsandsabers.bsky.social! 💫

Climb into the camper van for a surreal roadtrip that slides out of time & reality. TLL is a story about grief, hope, and the shining lifeline of human connection.

🔗: www.starsandsabers.com/books/the-le...
Ren holds up a copy of The Legend Liminal, with an empty desert highway in the background. The cover of the book features a camper van driving on a road shaped like an infinity symbol, in front of a vaporwave-style sunset. The cover of The Legend Liminal by Ren Hutchings is superimposed on an image of an empty desert highway, surrounded by text that says: ➜ Surreal contemporary speculative novella ➜ A slip out of time & reality ➜ Friends on a fateful roadtrip ➜ An unsettling liminal world ➜ A mysterious spooky cat ➜ Messy sibling relationships ➜ Vibes: Donnie Darko meets FINNA ➜ Navigating grief & finding lifelines in one another The cover of the book features a camper van driving on a road shaped like an infinity symbol, in front of a vaporwave-style sunset.
