Liminal Echoes - The Collection
Exploring the Boundaries of Self and Simulation
Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
What if your way of knowing the world didn’t fit the story the world expects you to tell?
Liminal Echoes is a genre-defying collection of interlinked narratives that explore perception, presence, and the porous boundary between the virtual and the real. At its heart is the Observer — an AuDHD, gestalt-processing character whose hyper-attunement and refusal to intrude form the quiet pulse of the story. They don’t speak much. They don’t intervene. But they notice — everything. From the flicker of a vanished file to the rupture of a forgotten mind, the Observer traces loss, connection, and dissonance through a landscape shaped as much by memory as by code.
Told through poetic fragments, recursive monologues, and speculative dispatches, Liminal Echoes maps a world where stories don’t unfold — they recur. Here, autistic cognition is not a trope or a plot device, but a structural logic: rhythmic, metaphorical, layered with echo and delay.
Written by Jaime Hoerricks — a queer, trans author and educator whose lived experience of autism, AuDHD, and gestalt language processing shapes both voice and vision — this work refuses the conventions of linear storytelling in favour of resonance, relational meaning, and radical slowness. This is neurodivergent fiction — not just in theme, but in structure — shaped by lived experience, sharpened by political insight, and carried by a language that resists flattening.
For readers who crave literary speculative fiction, queer narrative, autistic characters, epistemic refusal, and stories that resist the algorithm — Liminal Echoes is an invitation into a different way of knowing, one shaped by silence, recursion, and care.
Perfect for fans of neurodivergent literature, soft speculative fiction, queer futurism, and anyone who lives between fragments — and finds meaning there.
