What a wonderful surprise to see this OmniPark story in the wild! Confession: I rejected this sub for "Back 2 OmniPark" because it was set in a different time period than the rest of the antho. Now I just feel like it expands the lore in interesting new ways.

I mean I used to dress up as a Sumerian and cook Sumerian food when trying to read cuneiform documents but I thought it was just me

Sometimes I feel like we pitch novels to our friends in just qualitatively the wrong ways, like bro I get that you don't habitually devour books about 19th-century whaling voyages; these are not the reasons I'm telling you to read Moby Dick

Yeah I know you're "into mythology" but like are we talking Gaiman or Eliade here

Laird Baron - "The Nebula Quest" Kristi DeMeester - "Incarnate" Brian Evenson - "The Realm Between the Realms" Gwendolyn Kiste - "How To Survive a Birthday Party" I see four OmniPark stories on that list, which is a huge honor. Am I missing the other two?

Years ago, when I started this unlikely writing career, I never imagined I'd join such a project with such a talented group of people. If you love weird lit, consider supporting this amazing Kickstarter project!
