When a mental patient claiming to be from the 19th century describes visiting an alien world haunting Dr. Cy Warren's nightmares, Cy is drawn into a chilling mystery linking a forgotten massacre to horrors beyond imagination.
Book Synopsis
A forgotten massacre. A patient who believes he's lost in time. A truth more terrifying than nightmares.
Cyrus "Cy" Warren, a postgraduate administrator at Drayman Mental Hospital, has long dismissed his terrifying visions of an alien world as trauma-induced nightmares. But when Wilcox Jennings, a patient claiming to be a 19th-century butler from Bellecliff, a notorious mansion perched ominously at a cliff's edge, arrives vividly describing the same alien realm from Cy's dreams, Cy must question everything he believes.
Now a luxury hotel, Bellecliff was the site of a grisly massacre during the same era Wilcox claims as his own. As Cy is swept deeper into conspiracy and terror, the line between nightmare and reality blurs. Something sinister connects Bellecliff's blood-soaked past to Cy's visions, something unspeakable and fiercely guarded by forces determined to keep it hidden.
Blending horror and science fiction, Traverse is a gripping debut from author E.J. Meyers. It is a chilling exploration of terror beyond imagination.
