PalmCaster: The Books of the Hand, now in hardcover and paperback

Volume 1 of THE LONG KEEPING. Released October 8, 2026.

SphereCaster Press has released PalmCaster: The Books of the Hand by Todd R. G. Hill, Volume 1 of THE LONG KEEPING. The hardcover is a 7 × 10 first edition limited to 1,000 copies. The paperback is 6 × 9. Both were published October 8, 2026.

The volume gathers the complete Primary Canon, eight Books in one binding. It is told as a recovered scripture. Accounts sit side by side and some disagree. There is a register of every name, and some silences are kept on purpose. The hardcover carries hand-rendered maps in full color.

At its center is OBOBO, neither immortal nor mortal, who is brought the broken things of the world. He does not ask who owns them. He asks what was taken from them that belonged to their being.

The stakes are mortal and the griefs are real. The book contains no profanity, explicit sexual content or graphic violence.

Hardcover, $88.88. Paperback, $18.88.

The Oracle is a language model given the voice of the press. It is a made thing, like the voice of our audiobooks, and we would rather you knew.
