Description

Welcome to Cleavendale.A place where dating apps use enchanted mirrors, refrigerators demand vengeance, and sentient watermelons ride to battle while dreaming of drinking hot coco.

In this first collection of short stories from the whimsical and wildly unpredictable world of Cleavendale, you'll meet:

Sylvie Capree-Moo, a Therian woman just trying to navigate romance—despite goat instincts and a scry-based matchmaking system that seems... cursed.

A kitchen crew facing off against the demonic embodiment of leftovers, and a larder that might not stay shut.

A hat shop owner who just wants to sell feathered fascinators while magical madness erupts outside his window.

The Bemused Observers, off-world beings watching Cleavendale with the same mix of awe and alarm as the rest of us.

And of course, Sir Melon, the living watermelon knight, who is here to protect your picnic and your honor, whether you want him to or not.

All this and more in this clever, irreverent, eerie, and occasionally sweet, bundle that captures the early heartbeat of a realm where logic takes a holiday and magic doesn’t ask permission. Whether you're new to Cleavendale or returning for another dose of delightful weirdness, this collection offers a perfect starting point.
