In the strange dark between the stars sails The Crooked Saint - a crooked patchwork spaceship carrying a crew of the unwanted, the unfinished, and the impossible.
Captain Orrin Stitch, a stitched-together wanderer with borrowed bones and too many second chances, travels the galaxy alongside his unusual found family: Brindle, a gentle moth-like giant searching for where he came from; Mib Fenrick, a nervous four-armed inventor whose machines rarely behave correctly; Pella, a mysterious floating child who hears things no one else can; Jonny Two, a robot carrying a human brain and a broken past; Luma, a silver-furred moth-child born from memory and hope; and Mister Grin, a sarcastic puppet containing far more personality than anyone sensible would allow.
Together they journey across bizarre and haunted worlds helping monsters, lost souls, living planets, forgotten species, ghost carnivals, abandoned stations, and creatures too strange for the rest of the galaxy to love.
But beyond the adventures, beyond the wonders and horrors hidden among the stars, The Crooked Saint is searching for something too:
A place where unwanted things can finally belong.
Blending gothic charm, heartfelt found-family adventure, eerie sci-fi imagination, and dark whimsical humour, Oddlings From Orbit is a collection of twelve interconnected tales about loneliness, kindness, memory, and the strange shapes a family can take at the edge of the universe.
