DisAbled Oddities, a Novel by Devin O.

A Modern Supernatural Tale of a Girl, Her Cane, and A Whole Lot of Secrets 

DisAbled Oddities exists somewhere between a novel and a journal based on true experiences of illness.  It revolves around a strong young female character who struggles with personal disabilty, thrust into a tale of urban fantasy in which unexpected effects of her illness arise as a key factor in resolving a philosophical shadow war between fae with repercussions for two worlds.

At its core, it is a story of the difficulties of being young and very sick, as well as the unique perspectives that come from disability.  It is hoped that it will be recognizable to anyone who has struggled with charting a path based on their ideals in a harshly impractical and at times uncaring world.  New chapters are posted here several times a week.

Note: DisAbled Oddities, a Novel is unfinished, and will likely remain so.  It contains some graphic sexual content, graphic violence, and harsh language.

Editor’s First Impression

Editor: Linda Schoales

The writing in the first chapter is fairly solid, if a bit flowery in descriptions.  The story is told in first person by a person with a cane who requires medication for pain.  Worth a second look.

A Note From The Author…

Member: DevinO

Please note that this is unfinished at only five chapters, and will likely remain so as I’ve moved on to other projects.  (A bit more exists partially completed, but not much) It was an educational experience, and I do hope to someday address in other work the theme of disabled characters in early adulthood.

Until then!
