THE GIRL IN THE BOG
Ancient figures from mythology and folklore come to life in this atmospheric reimagining of the Irish epic, "The Cattle Raid on Cooley. Part fantasy, part mystery, part thriller, part send-up, this comic and poignant love song to Irish literature does not merely bend genres, it braids them into Celtic knots.

THE MOTION OF PUPPETS
The Motion of Puppets is based on the tragic Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. Just past midnight in Quebec City, Kaye Harper enters an abandoned toyshop where she is transformed into a puppet and disappears. Her husband Theo sets off to find her, tracing her to another, darker world.
CENTURIES OF JUNE
One night in June, a man falls and is knocked out on the bathroom floor, alone with his dreams. Or is he haunted by the seven women who show up to remind him of his past lives? And what about the old man and talking cat who keep him company? A comic tale of American myths and the poetics of space.
