Inanimate objects.

Figments of the imagination.

A voice without a body.

A spider weaving a web in a window.

These anthropods - objects and animals given human-like traits and feelings - are glimpses into worlds just on the edge of our own, some of them closer than others. Gather the courage to be a part of a revolution with an ice cube. Hold on tight to your house while a storm comes and threatens to tear it all apart. Seek comfort in that imaginary friend you haven't thought of in years.

Nineteen stories to break down and blur the lines between what we know and understand and what is alien, foreign, and strange. Settle in with a cup of tea, hold on tight to the chair, and hope you are not swept away by a storm so powerful it brings feelings to life.
