Produktbeschreibung

Quick Reads: Cozy Fantasy • Dark Humor • Mythic Horror

Curl up with a cocoa-sized read you can finish in one or two sittings. The Dock of the Waiting Hand blends cozy fantasy, dark humor, and mythic suspense into a bedtime tale like no other.

On stormy nights, Nana's grandkids beg for the story she promised she wouldn't tell - the one about the lake, the dock, and the friends who never came back.

But this is no ordinary ghost story. Between cocoa spills, whispered dares, and bursts of nervous laughter, Nana weaves a tale of fear and courage, of rules that couldn't save them, and of the night she met the black, oiled hand rising from the lake.

One by one, her friends vanished, each taken by the fear they couldn't face. Only Nana remained, and instead of running, she sat with her tea, toes over the dock, and breathed.

Now, as the storm rattles the windows, her grandkids lean close, hanging on every word. But when the house grows still and the cocoa mugs ripple, they discover Nana's story isn't finished. Because some monsters don't vanish. They wait. And if you're brave enough, you invite them to tea.

The Dock of the Waiting Hand is a cozy-creepy bedtime tale blending mythic fantasy, dark humor, and family warmth. Perfect for fans of Neil Gaiman, Emily Carroll, and TJ Klune, it's a story about courage, laughter in the dark, and the quiet truth that you don't banish monsters... you teach them how to sit in the quiet.

A perfect Quick Read for fans of Neil Gaiman, TJ Klune, and Emily Carroll.

Length: ~17,000 words (2-3 hours to read).

Autorenporträt

Writer of Lucid Myths, Songs for the Glitched, and Stories That Remember What You Forgot

Daive Bailey writes for the ones who never fit the roles they were handed, who remember things they were told never happened, and who still ache for a kind of magic they were taught to outgrow.

His stories live in the liminal between bedtime tales and whispered rebellions, between cozy tea and existential unraveling. If you've ever felt like a villain in someone else's narrative, or a hero in the wrong genre, these books might be for you.

A lifelong lover of fairytales and systems, Daive grew up both enchanted and afraid drawn to magic, but warned against it. He now writes at the edge of that tension, where imagination and exile meet.

In his world, songs carry memory, sigils mark the unseen, and no one is too broken or weird or late to be remembered rightly.

When he's not writing lucid pulp sagas or weaving anti-rituals for those who hate rituals, he's helping real estate agents stand out with powerful images and messages. He lives somewhere between the rings, surrounded by tea cups, unfinished ideas, and stories waiting to be remembered.
