Cassian Cole
Fiction that lingers in the quiet after the last page — literary and speculative stories about memory, distance, and the strange machinery of ordinary lives.
Welcome. I write novels and short fiction that live where the literary and the speculative overlap — grounded people in slightly tilted worlds. This is where my work lives: the books, the short stories, a few thoughts on the craft, and a way to keep in touch.
