David Selby was born and grew up in Berkeley, California. He taught elementary school in California, Mexico, and New Mexico for thirty-six years. He and his wife live in Northwest New Mexico. He has written many short stories including the Joe the Man with Gills series. Mica is his first novel. Mica, an expert navigator, uses the currents of the Darkstream to pilot his ship across the galaxy to join his love, Olivine. On the way, he befriends Ronnie, a stowaway who can look like a coat or a first aid kit, the mysterious Vuud, and the translucent “Slight People”. They experience the savage planet of Carnage and the whirling destruction of the Moon of 10,000 Drones before they even reach Olivine in the brand-new city of Garner in the midst of an unknown world.

Max arrives in Japan believing he has finally escaped his old life. A new country, a cheap room, and the promise of anonymity feel like a reset—quiet, lonely, but safe. Days blur together as he drifts on the edges of society, unseen and unimportant. Then one day, Max wakes up in complete darkness. With no sense of time, place, or how he got there, his memories begin to fracture. Ordinary moments collide with unsettling gaps, and reality starts to feel unstable. The longer he waits, the harder it becomes to tell whether he is remembering, dreaming, or losing himself. MICE is a psychological thriller about isolation, identity, and the terrifying question of what remains when no one is watching.

Mimic's Might Betrayed. Abandoned. Left to rot in the abyss. Thirteen-year-old Vincent was never the strongest, the fastest, or the most favored. When the village bullies toss him like garbage into the shifting, pitch-black labyrinth of the Deep Dungeons, he was supposed to become just another forgotten skeleton in the gravel. But the dark has secrets of its own. And it was hungry. Instead of death, Vincent finds Malakor, a living, shifting nightmare of a mimic. Bound together by blood and a mutual hunger for survival, the boy and the monster form a symbiotic bond that defies the rules of the world. With Malakor transforming from a supple leather glove into an arsenal of deadly weapons, Vincent stops being the prey. In a world of cold steel, blind predators, and treacherous allies, Vincent learns a brutal truth: the only way to escape a monster's den is to become the greatest monster of them all.

In the chaotic city of Zango, where survival feels like a daily accident and reality itself seems unstable, a scientist named Calado Bento—infamously known as “Doctor Bad Luck”—works at GENE-HIVE BIOTECHNOLOGIES, a biotech corporation experimenting with genetic mutations and insect-based super-organisms. When a series of bizarre incidents leads him to experiment on an ordinary cockroach using forbidden genetic technology, the creature mutates into a monstrous, intelligent entity known as Cockroachman—an unpredictable force that embodies both heroism and destruction. Declaring war on filth and corruption, it becomes a feared and mythologized figure across the city. As chaos escalates, other mutations and human-insect hybrids emerge from the same unstable scientific experiments, including Human-Cockroach, a being shaped by waste, poverty, and survival instinct, further distorting the boundary between human and monster. Meanwhile, Calado himself attempts to gain powers but instead becomes trapped in a cycle of failure, absurdity, and accidental survival, reflecting the distorted logic of Zango—a place where death, science, and comedy blur into one system of existence. The story evolves into a darkly comedic and chaotic exploration of power, mutation, and urban decay, where every attempt to control life only creates new, more unstable forms of it. .

But after awakening memories of the novel, Yunyun accidentally reveals the future through her thoughts— [Mommy, boohoo… your scumbag husband has been cheating on you for years and even has a child with another woman. In the end, they’ll join forces to cripple and torture you to death!] [Uncle, you’ll be betrayed by an ungrateful subordinate and driven out of your own luxurious home, left to freeze to death in the snow!] [Grandpa… Grandma…] In the original story, only her young aunt—the novel’s female lead—survives to the very end, killing her enemies with her own hands… only to live on as something neither fully human nor a ghost.

I don't want to suffer through the end of the world…] Looking at the little milk dumpling in their arms, pretending to be silly just so she can laze around… What else can the Bai family do but spoil her?
