A series of short, self-contained stories about locals and their unmatched fighting spirit for whatever they feel like is worth pursuing. Each episode tells the story of a different character, rooted in the same city.
Together with two friends, Jane started Girls Like Us because she was tired of watching women make themselves smaller after midnight. For a while, it worked. The collective made the night feel safer. But the more power they gained, the harder it became to tell what they were really doing. Then Sam showed up at one of their parties, and by morning he was dead. What followed forced Jane to confront the thing she had hoped would never happen: the group she believed in had taken it upon itself to decide who deserved to be punished.
When Bing agrees to bake for a spiritual retreat just outside the city, he never expects the ceremony to descend into a night of horror. Before he fully understands what has happened, his name is already circling through accusations and legal threats. As his passion erupts into national outrage, he is left with one haunting question: how did a single batch of cookies become the story that could cost him his freedom and ultimately, his life?
After a nineteen-year-old boy disappears without leaving a trace, journalist Ward Mendo refuses to let it become another case the authorities quietly brush aside. As he follows a trail of anonymous forums, and a reclusive hacker named Sinead, he begins to uncover the outline of another world operating just out of sight. But as the pressure builds and powerful interests close in, Ward must decide whether exposing the truth will save lives or erase the very people he is trying to protect.

First Book: Boots On The Ground
A relentless story about artistic survival, moral grey zones and what it takes to stay true when everything else demands compromise.
Frieda’s inner world is complex: she lives with the constant tension between who she thinks she should be and who she truly is deep down. She seeks liberation from social pressure. At the same time, she is afraid of what happens when everything falls away. Who is left then?
An independent platform for short, psychological thrillers. Founded, created, written and illustrated by Raisa Huisden. After nine years of commercial writing, Raisa makes her debut as an author with Boots on the Ground. Through Bukeyard, she explores the tangled layers of the mind: exploring doubt, desire, boundaries, and the fragile space between right and wrong.
