Creatures of Liminal Space by Daniel Braum
Jackanapes Press (June 2025)

The Synopsis

Daniel Braum’s Creatures of Liminal Space explores the spaces in between places and the strange, weird, and numinous encounters you might have there. In this collection, you will find three short story length selections of Braum’s hallmark strange tales (including one original to this book), interspersed among twelve dark and wondrous flash fiction length selections. Braum and illustrator Dan Sauer invite you to traverse these labyrinths of the liminal, and join them on a phantasmagoric journey replete with dark and ethereal denizens haunting exotic borderlands far-flung and shadowy corners just next door.

Discover the heartbreaking secrets of a Loch Ness Monster sighted in the lush jungles of Central America.

Learn who or what the enigmatic Jaguar King is protecting with the wild cats of a remote swath of tropical forest.

Traverse patterns of love and loss and time—and learn if our friendships and truths, like constellations of stars, are real or perceived.

Ghosts. Hauntings. Monsters. Creatures. Cryptids. Fear. Darkness. Loss. Wonder. Heartbreak. Mystery. The Strange. The Uncanny. The Liminal. The Interstitial. Labyrinths of time. Love and Desire. The edges of civilization. Longings for the lost.Continue Reading

Creatures of Liminal Space by Daniel Braum
Jackanapes Press (June, 2025)
Reviewed by Joshua Gage

Like a vinyl record from days gone by, author Daniel Braum spins a unique blend of speculative fiction that effortlessly blends fantasy, science fiction and horror and mysticism in every verse. Weaving a tapestry of quantum intelligence, Braum’s multi-dimensional characters are drawn into dark worlds of spiritualism where concepts of advanced science collide with magic realism to investigate the unexplainable at the edges of civilization. Defying conventional categorization, his work thrives in the grey area between many genres. Braum’s newest collection is Creatures of Liminal Space. Continue Reading
