The world has ended.

Still, none of them could have asked for a smoother experience. Until the morning they wake up to silence. All communication with Earth, gone.

Here, in these narrow spaces between the known and the unknown, behind the paper-thin curtains of reality, lurk monsters both human and ancient: selkies and avenging revenants, voodoo priestesses and pirate sorcerers, ghosts and vampires, and the most famous murderer of all time.
