Summary
Heather Morell is haunted. Otherworldly nightmares and monstrous hallucinations lurk around every corner, relics of childhood bereavement and schizophrenia.
Until she meets Evelyn and Raine—a bad-tempered mage and her self-proclaimed bodyguard—and learns that she’s not insane after all.
The monsters she sees are all too real, the god-thing in her nightmares is teaching her the secrets of creation, and her twin sister—the lost girl who supposedly never existed—might still be clinging on, a dwindling soul somewhere beyond the walls of reality, Outside.
Heather plunges into a world of eldritch magic and fanatic cultists, trying to stay alive, stay sane, and deal with her own blossoming attraction to dangerous women. But being ‘In The Know’ isn’t all terror and madness. Sometimes the monsters wear fancy dresses and stick around for afternoon tea. Sometimes she finds more in common with them than she expects. Perhaps this new world is Heather’s chance to be more than a defeated husk of human wreckage.
And perhaps, out there on the far-flung rim of reality, she can find a way to bring her twin sister back from the dead.

Wonderful performance, wonderful book
This was the perfect thing to get me out of my reading slump. I loved the story, and the performance by Marissa Calvin was truly wonderful. I’ll be reading the rest with my actual eyes, as I must, but I’m so excited for the audiobook of the next volume, it really was such a treat!

Very Original
Enjoyed it overall, would recommend.
The narrator does an excellent job with the character voices, but the general narration can be a bit... They have a particular cadence that sounds like every sentence is a surprise. Its not going to be for everyone. Although I stuck it out for about a half hour then stopped noticing.
The story is an anthology for like a million word serialised web novel. And it shows. I haven't read the original, so I don't know if it has been edited down at all, but my honest opinion is that it could have used a little more trimming. There are sections that feel like a real drag between stuff that's way more interesting. Especially long, wordy dialogue scenes that could have been tied up a bit snappier.
The eldritch stuff is cool, but I'm not sure its very horror. There are a lot of unique takes and an unusual magic system, I feel like it has a good balance between the soft and hard stuff so far.
Also, there's no explicit scenes, but boy is the MC *horny*.
Anyway, 10/10 disaster lesbians, on to volume 2.

Absolutely brilliant!
I loved listening to this book! I think it is aimed at an audience younger than me but I found it truly riveting..
I really wish this genre of books had been around thirty five years ago.

A fantastic story
It’s not perfect but it’s a very good experience. The prose of the author is beautiful and the narrator fits very well.The book can feel long winded at times but it does paint a amazing picture of the world. As a mix of cosmic horror, thriller and slice of life the story is both terrifying, sad and heartwarming. So far I have never read/listened to anything like this but I wish there were more.
