A dark novella about sisters evading hunters in a world unraveling into chaos.
Kiernan expands her earlier work to present Ptolema’s struggle within a world-spanning game. The plot centers on the sisters’ flight from their creators while rival agencies clash across the Void. Lovecraftian elements emerge as rational explanations fail, creating an atmosphere of dread. The story examines how experiments from decades past impact the present and future. It is a tale of evasion and confrontation in a setting where reality itself is unstable.
The novella sits within the tradition of cosmic horror and supernatural fiction, drawing on Lovecraftian themes. It connects to the earlier work Agents of Dreamland, continuing its narrative threads. The setting involves New England shores and a global scope, reflecting Kiernan’s focus on gothic and speculative traditions.
