About This Book

A narrator recounts his friend's experiment to combine ancient drugs with geometric preparation to pierce the fourth dimension and perceive past and future. As the experiment progresses the traveler suffers temporal dislocation and glimpses hostile extra-dimensional predators that inhabit sharp angles and pursue anyone who moves through time. Scientific speculation, occult lore, and escalating physical and metaphysical disturbances collide as ordinary reality fractures, forcing a desperate attempt to contain or escape inhuman forces that exploit geometry and the transgression of temporal boundaries.
