About This Book

A small group witnesses mysterious luminous apparitions near a rural stream that resist physical interaction and soon reveal themselves to be manifestations of a parallel, fourth-dimensional realm. The protagonists cross the barrier into a shadowy world shaped by thought, encountering strange landscapes, sentient thought-forms, and organized hostile spectres. The narrative shifts between investigation, preparations for crossing, capture by malevolent mental forces, and a coordinated response from allies in the void, culminating in battles across the boundary and efforts to reclaim ordinary reality and assign each entity its proper domain.
