Just a Phase
EVVY Award-winning author Chad Huskins is back with another mind-bending tale that plunges the reader into two strange new worlds.
A NEW PHASE OF LIFE
What would you do if you could phase through solid matter? What if, when you phased out, you briefly entered a higher, darker dimension, where unseen menaces swam just beyond your sight? What would you do if something followed you back?
THE BURDEN OF POWER
Duncan Piot never had it easy. Wracked with life-draining OCD, anxiety, and feelings of inadequacy, he's only ever sought peace and quiet with his comics and movie collection. Duncan has been phasing through objects all his life, often without trying, and always terrified by what he sees in the dimension just above our own, a dimension he calls the Dark Zone. It's a place he dreads visiting every time.
A NEW JOB, A NEW PROBLEM
A security job at the Dormer Brewing Company offers Duncan fresh prospects, the possibility of getting beyond his social anxiety and entering the real world with all the happy, smiling people. However, after only a month on the job, Duncan finds that his phasing gets out of control when he's walking patrols at night. After a fellow guard goes missing, he begins to suspect something he's always feared: that one of the creatures of the Dark Zone has finally figured out a way to follow him into our world, and it's waiting for him somewhere inside the plant.
DUNCAN'S DILEMMA
It's clear that Duncan has brought this on his friends at Dormer. He can't escape that fact. Wracked by guilt, plagued by nightmares, he has only one of two choices: run away, or face the terror waiting for him inside the Dormer. But if he confronts the Enemy and fails, it could mean unleashing the entirety of the Dark Zone upon our world.
