Side Life
Smart, paranoid literary science fiction crossover for fans of Christopher Priest and Philip K. Dick, set in present-day Seattle.
About the Book
Vin's life takes an unexpected turn when he accepts a stranger's invitation to house sit an ultra-modern Seattle mansion and discovers a technological haunting with the power to fulfill his deepest desires. Buried in a lab far beneath the house is a system of computers and coffin-like caskets that opens a portal into possibility, but is it a risk worth taking?
