21 emotionally and morally messy short stories, poems and flash fictions inspired by the marginalised, the forgotten, and the invisible. Each one grown from seeds planted beneath the octopus tree.

Grief, guilt, secrets, damage, marginalisation and beautiful souls making very questionable life choices.

From gambling addicts to dark web photographers. From grieving mothers to the homeless man you walk past every day, Tales From Under The Octopus Tree explores the fragile space between survival and morality.

At its heart, it asks one simple question. Who gets to judge whom, when we're all just trying to survive?
