Talebones ✨

By S.E. Reid

Home of the Ferris Island Tales! Short and serialized fiction from S.E. Reid: speculative stories with a spiritual, supernatural, or uncanny twist.

S.E. Reid is practically a household name around Substack, so if you're subscribed to her already, what are you waiting for? Her fiction publication, Talebones, is a delightful collection of short stories, primarily centered around Ferris Island in the Pacific Northwest. If you like stories with a little twist, a little mystery, Talebones is exactly where you need to be.
