Liminal Echoes - The Collection: Exploring the Boundaries of Self and Simulation

By: Hoerricks, Jaime

What if your way of knowing the world didn't fit the story the world expects you to tell? Liminal Echoes is a genre-defying collection of interlinked narratives that explore perception, presence, and the porous boundary between the virtual and the real. At its heart is the Observer - an AuDHD, gestalt-processing character whose hyper-attunement and refusal to intrude form the quiet pulse of the story. They don't speak much. They don't intervene. But they notice - everything. From the flicker of a vanished file to the rupture of a forgotten mind, the Observer traces loss, connection, and dissonance through a landscape shaped as much by memory as by code. Told through poetic fragments, recursive monologues, and speculative dispatches, Liminal Echoes maps a world where stories don't unfold - they recur. Here, autistic cognition is not a trope or a plot device, but a structural logic: rhythmic, metaphorical, layered with echo and delay. Written by Jaime Hoerricks - a queer, trans author and educator whose lived experience of autism, AuDHD, and gestalt language processing shapes both voice and vision - this work refuses the conventions of linear storytelling in favour of resonance, relational meaning, and radical slowness. This is neurodivergent fiction - not just in theme, but in structure - shaped by lived experience, sharpened by political insight, and carried by a language that resists flattening. For readers who crave literary speculative fiction, queer narrative, autistic characters, epistemic refusal, and stories that resist the algorithm - Liminal Echoes is an invitation into a different way of knowing, one shaped by silence, recursion, and care. Perfect for fans of neurodivergent literature, soft speculative fiction, queer futurism, and anyone who lives between fragments - and finds meaning there.
