About This Book

A solitary woman discovers her television has produced a dark portal that disgorges an otherworldly visitor, a Devi named Lyf, who explains that an electrical accident created a bridge between worlds and insists he means no harm. He reads her mind, challenges her self-deceptions, and declares that she is not as satisfied or happy as she believes, offering unsolicited help while stressing interworld rules about consent. The encounter unsettles her comfortable reliance on televised romance and raises questions about loneliness, the boundary between technology and the uncanny, and the cost of involuntary intrusion into private life.
