Publisher Description
"An enthralling encounter with mysteries from beyond... tearing at the veil between worlds one minute, scratching at our very windows the next. Filled with breathless suspense and cosmic strangeness, it's a story sure to put the reader in the shoes of the sharply-drawn young protagonist, as his human strengths are put to the test."
-- Jeffrey Thomas, author of PUNKTOWN.
"A new twist on what used to be called science fantasy, it strikes a great balance between horror, sf, and action writing. This is a modern, intelligent story with its roots firmly in the Golden Age pulp tradition."
-- David Longhorn, editor of SUPERNATURAL TALES.
Cover by Tragelaphus.

Intriguing...
An interesting short story of survival horror with some cosmic twists. Reminds me a bit of an alien abduction narrative mixed with William Hope Hodgson's 'The House on the Borderland'. A young boy, Philipe is left for a night home alone to tend to the animals on his parents farm when a strange intervention occurs; it is otherworldly? Interdimensional? The truth may ultimately prove elusive, or illusive.
