In Chasing Cinderella: Broken Dreams, A.C.K. Min reimagines ancient legends and forgotten fables through a modern, allegorical lens. From Ngurunguur—the first storyteller condemned to relive his own creation in the afterlife—to the vengeful coyote who changes the balance between the living and the dead, each story reveals a world both familiar and strange, where the boundaries between life, death, and dream are endlessly redrawn.

Blending mythic fiction, dark fantasy, and literary realism, these stories explore the fragility of human desire, the burden of memory, and the eternal power of storytelling itself. Each tale becomes a reflection on how we create, destroy, and recreate meaning through the stories we tell—and the ones that haunt us.

For readers of Neil Gaiman, Haruki Murakami, and Gabriel García Márquez, Chasing Cinderella is a mesmerizing meditation on imagination, morality, and the price of creation. It is not horror in the traditional sense—but a tapestry of the mystical, the philosophical, and the deeply human, inviting readers to journey into a world where every story becomes a mirror of our own broken dreams.
