Ligare and the Muse
A powerful force, The Being, hunts across the earth creating abominations in his wake. One such monster is Ligare, the demon that causes sleep paralysis, a soul lacking in personality and hungering for creativity. His presence is burden upon the world, draining passion from his victims. Autumn has been a homebody, taking care of her father for the last 100 years, made possible by the drug Rejuvveron. As she steps back into the world she accidentally changes the lives of those she meets. This collection of short stories show the effect these two have on the world around them and how theirs paths serendipitously cross.
