About the Book
What if the thing you are running from is you?
Paradox reveals the ache of existence and madness of longing and belonging. Across fifteen tales, myth and reality bleed into each other to answer one single hypnotic question – Who are we really?
Here women carry entire worlds within themselves. Seeking, believing, sinning, dreaming, and doubting themselves. A stranger possesses a body. A letter erases what it touches yet begs to be remembered. A relentless rain follows a muse imprisoned by inspiration, while lovers search for lost souls. Flowers carry the memory across time and lifetimes.
Blending magic realism, myth, and razor-edged psychological insight, these haunting tales bend reality, time circles back on itself, and the line between the living and the lost begins to disappear. They don't just get under your skin; they rewrite it.
Some stories end. These stories remain.
