Index of Substack Posts

I did a soft-relaunch of this site in June of 2024, and if I’m being honest the posts from after that point are significantly better than the ones before. Maybe I’ll index the previous ones someday, but I’m not really sure they’re worth revisiting.


Selected Tales

In June of 2024, I started publishing stories in a different style that I called “the tale”. The format has evolved over time, but essentially these are fictions that are mostly expositional, with little emphasis on scene-setting or visual detail. Different tales use different techniques. Some have a strong omniscient narrator, who can move across time and space and even comment on the action in question. Some are halfway between essays and fiction, where the fiction is clearly subordinate to some point I’m trying to make. Others have a limited point of view, but retain that sketchy, impressionistic quality. These tales often have supernatural, fabulist or cosmological elements. They’re not bound by the rules of any particular universe.
