Bandages & Banshees: A Cozy Fantasy

By: Jones, Don

In North Pointe Common Towne, the only thing faster than the healing is the doctor himself.

Dexter, the town's chirurgeon, is an anomaly of silent speed and unflappable competence. Always present the moment he is needed, always pale in his long black coat, Dexter's own nature is a secret he keeps hidden, a life force sustained by the very pain he magically draws from his patients.

But when a chaotic chorus of irritating, high-pitched wails erupts-troublesome banshees-Dexter's carefully managed life begins to unravel. These spirits are not portents of death, but the terrifyingly loud echoes of a past failure: a botched experiment by Dexter's former community to eliminate suffering entirely. The banshees' piercing song is the sound of unaddressed grief, and it's forcing Dexter to confront the ambition he fled from and the secret community of "monsters" he now secretly protects.

With the town's harmony under threat, and judgment on the horizon in the form of rigid outsiders, Dexter must learn to trust Sam's quiet empathy and Jen's fierce loyalty. To silence the banshees, he must stop running, accept his misunderstood nature, and find the elegant, simple truth that true healing lies not in eliminating pain, but in transforming it.

Can the town's fastest healer finally slow down enough to let himself be seen, and loved, for exactly who he is?
