The Horizon Out of Time

“She remembered a time when she was fearless.”

Wendy Weil: Escaping an abusive marriage has meant cutting ties with everything she knew … except for the brother who provides her a safe place to land, and remember who she used to be.

The Krammer Building: 42 stories of premium Manhattan real estate, exclusive, luxurious … and surprisingly empty.

“I dreamed my soul was a fixed point in two worlds.”

When Wendy discovers a stranger’s therapeutic dream journal, she doesn’t only become obsessed with locating its author. She also finds herself pulled with escalating gravity toward a dimension of alternate evolution, on a collision course with the facade concealing realities that are infinitely deeper, infinitely stranger.

“My soul is a quantum point that has begun to oscillate between worlds … and the oscillations are getting wider.”

And that’s before the city-crippling blizzard.

When the worst storms hit, sometimes the surest way of saving yourself is to save someone else. And when worlds collide, being fearless doesn’t matter nearly as much as turning fierce.

REVIEWS

“The longest and best of the three novellas here … Set in a NYC apartment building where the dream diary of a disappeared woman leads to a surreal and fantastic climax.” — Rue Morgue

AUTHOR’S NOTE

Yeah, I know — the title and the images don’t match. What we have here is a long piece previously published as “In the Negative Spaces,” in an anthology of novellas called Dark City. At some point I began to dislike the title I’d given my half of the book. It was already on my mind to exercise a return of rights, so I could work up a retitled new edition, when its small press publisher, Necro Publications, ceased operations after, tragically, founder Dave Barnett was killed by a drunk driver.
