PalmCaster
Todd R. G. Hill
PalmCaster: The Books of the Hand is the gathered canon of a single mythology — a cosmology of salt, silence, exile, and the child heaven left behind. It is told the way old scripture is told: not in the order things happened, but in the order they were set down, account laid beside account, some of them disagreeing. At its center is OBOBO — neither immortal nor mortal, a third thing the spheres did not plan for — who is brought the broken things of the world and asks of each not who owns it, but what was taken from it that belonged to its being.
This first edition collects the primary canon through Books Seven and Eight. It is a book of existential and epistemological weight carried in the plain grammar of myth — written to be read aloud, returned to, and inherited. For adult readers who want the largest questions in a form they can hold.

Enter the Oracle
Ask the Oracle about the PalmCaster cosmology, the OBOBO Cycle, and the imprint itself. It answers in the press's own voice — and will cast an oracular reading if you ask for one.

What Mythic Literature Asks of Us
Myth is not nostalgia. It is a discipline for carrying the largest questions in a form a reader can hold.
