An abducted couple find themselves under the thumb of nearly-omnipotent omniscient aliens, who use these humans to navigate a celestial haunted house said to hold the secrets of creation. Oh, and the house is trying to kill them.

A crew of outcasts, including a drug dealer and a struggling YouTube streamer, face an ancient ancestral evil, come back from the dead to take over the world of the living.

Across both short novels, Christoph Paul’s brisk pace works in concert with a memorable voice, alternating between high-stakes drama and hilarity in this unique double creature feature.
