In "Down the Well," Veronica King takes us on a whimsical and somewhat bizarre journey with Lore Deoradán. After falling into a magical world via a well (because why use doors?), Lore finds herself accused of a murder she didn't commit in a town filled with talking animals. Featured in SFcrowsnest, this story combines elements of fantasy and mystery, as Lore navigates her way through a world that's part Alice in Wonderland, part Kafkaesque nightmare. Alongside a disgruntled mouse and a cat who owns a pub, Lore must prove her innocence and uncover a dark scheme threatening the town. It’s a fantastical adventure that reminds us sometimes the most extraordinary journeys begin with a simple step – or in this case, a tumble.
