Description:
Reality isn't what it used to be.
In gritty Detroit, ex-thief Fredrick thinks flipping a run-down house is his ticket to a quiet life with his pregnant wife. But discovering a sealed room reveals more than bad wiring—it unlocks a portal. A gateway where gravity twists, time distorts, and duplicates of everyday objects hint at parallel worlds bleeding together.
What starts as a bizarre anomaly quickly spirals into a fight for survival. A deadly encounter leaves Fredrick implicated in a crime he can't report, forcing him deeper into the impossible space beyond the portal. He confronts hostile creatures, glimpses of alternate selves, and the chilling implications of a universe operating on rules that defy sanity.
Caught between fleeing the law in his own reality and navigating the mind-bending dangers of another, Fredrick must unravel the secrets of The Bootstrap Paradox. If he doesn't, he won't just lose his freedom—he might lose himself across timelines.
“Fiction can show you a different world. It can take you somewhere you've never been. Once you've visited other worlds, like those who ate fairy fruit, you can never be entirely content with the world that you grew up in.“
