Creative Indulgences

Born from Philippa Ballantine’s Patreon feed, these 15 stories span fantasy, horror, and science fiction. They explore the dark places of the human soul, the brightness of hope, and the void between worlds.A clone finds the welcoming voice of an alien. A small dragon learns the secrets of the past. The bodies of the dead dance in an ancient church.These and other stories were inspired by an ongoing monthly collaboration between reader and author. From there, they were spun by Philippa Ballantine’s imagination, both indulgent and creative fun.
