The Other Worlds Christopher K Greger

End-stage cystic fibrosis: a slow suffocation with an inevitable end. Tom Rohmer has returned to his father's house in Northern California to wait out the remainder of his days. In the absence of hope and the impossibility of plans, Tom exists in the border-regions between life and death - and in that place, surprising things begin to happen. The natural world zooms into stark focus, in all of its beauty and indifference. An odd group of people are encountered, offering entry to an utterly strange new world. And someone, or something, is stalking Tom, marking his approaching passage with blood and stone. Memory and desire, beauty and danger, all disrupt the dwindling world Tom inhabits, as doors to other worlds begin to crack open.
