Four Doorways in or near New Orleans
A slow-burn cosmic horror novel blending time travel and eldritch dread in New Orleans.
The text describes a paperback release from Manifold House published in December 2025. It combines three distinct genres to create a unique reading experience. The narrative structure emphasizes the fragility of time rather than linear progression. Ancient forces expose this fragility, creating a sense of temporal disorientation. The setting involves New Orleans and its surroundings, providing a gothic backdrop for apocalyptic themes. Harrigan utilizes this location to enhance the feeling of isolation. The story does not offer resolution but instead maintains a state of unease. This approach aligns with traditional cosmic horror where human understanding fails against larger truths.
This 2025 Manifold House paperback sits at the intersection of gothic fiction and apocalyptic science fiction. It draws on the tradition of cosmic horror to explore existential fear through the lens of temporal disorientation in New Orleans.
