Publisher's summary
In Larles and the Midas Touch, an alien parasite gives Larles the ability to reshape space and reality itself with the power of her mind. Cwej is worried, especially since the first thing she destroyed was one of his bodies. The Superiors are closing in, her powers are getting more potent, and a strange rodent-faced man named Gastar has some sort of stake in her destruction on a molecular level. Can Larles find a cure before the parasite kills her, or will her remorse get there first?
Hi, I’m currently transcribing the events of Kwol and the Dreadful Mnemosyne. Chris investigates a new economic ideology that uses paradoxes as currency. I wrote him into a corner, literally. Larles and Kwol get confused about certain exchanges of words neither of them said. Surprise! It was me. I’m the Lack, by the way, but you may know me as the narrator of all fiction relating to Doctor Who. Cwej, Larles and Kwol are my current targets. Disregard the next synopsis or three, Cwej: The Series ends here and now.
In When Winter Comes, Larles and Kwol find a diary tablet belonging to Lucily Smithe, a little girl with big dreams who is moving to another planet with her dad. Unexpectedly, the ship crashes, leaving her and the rest of the passengers stranded and alone on Selma-Zeta... or so they believe. With plant creatures roaming outside the ship and a long winter fast approaching, will an alternate version of Chris get Lucily and her father out alive?
In The Lost Fictionaut, Chris is press-ganged by his old Superiors into a cryptic assassination mission—and soon finds himself trapped in the body of a fragile, mortal man, stranded in a bleak, monochromatic otherworld. Dragged into a maelstrom of literary intrigue, pulp superheroics, and Ancient Greek arcana, Chris must forge himself a wildly new identity—or lose his soul in a war between gods.
In Lungbarrow ad Nauseam, Chris Cwej is looking for answers about his lost memories. When he encounters a mysterious figure from his Superiors' ancient past, known as the Other, his life changes forever. Thrown into an infinity of disparate pasts Cwej must navigate his way through the bloody and deceitful history behind his Superiors founding myths... At the heart of it all, at the apex of the most deadly battle throughout time, the ancient and brooding House of Lungbarrow lies waiting in ruins, ready to ensnare its final victims and enact its revenge.[1]

Notes
- Lungbarrow by Loomlight's first working title was A Stained Frock, then it was changed to Too Many Cooks on the Canvas of Time.[3] Finally, the title was changed from Lungbarrow ad Nauseam to its final title after a suggestion made by Marc Platt.[4]
- When Winter Comes was initially announced as being written by Sam Maleski. However, the announcement was later revised, with Callum Phillpott stepping in instead. Its name was also later changed to Chris Cwej and the Winter Nymphs, in order to keep with the Greco-Roman themes of the two previous stories.[5]
