About this ebook

THE FORMS OF DULDA is a quirky fantasy-comedy short story.

While being pursued by The Gregaritons - a horde of body-part-swapping beasts who share one eye, and are on the hunt for more nostrils - Poilu-Flux inadvertently runs straight into the phenomenal arms of something spoken of only in cautionary tales.

'The beasts were still coming for him, so he had to choose his fate quickly. Should he meet his doom at the hands of The Gregaritons, or leap bravely into the unknown abyss?'
