<p>A man has most of his head removed just to avoid dealing with other people.</p>
<p>A time traveler visits the only survivors of the apocalypse; the eternal <em>fungus-people</em> who live in an abandoned military bunker. </p>
<p>An evil spirit travels through the printed word, driving its victims insane, but it may have met its match when it tries to inhabit the cryptic logo of a Norweigian Black Metal album.</p>
<p>A tortured soul is trapped in a house he can't escape from, and a nightmare he can't wake up from.</p>
<p>What's the worst that could happen if one individual could communicate to all of humanity at once, mind to mind? What if they were a decent sort of person? You know what they say about good intentions.</p>
<p>Something's gone wrong at the lab and Merrill is being duplicated. Versions of himself from different stages of his life keep showing up, crowding him out, destroying his sanity. What happens when someone who has always lived an unexamined life is forced to talk to himself about himself, all while trying to reverse the results of an experiment that has gone horribly wrong.</p>
<p>The Thaxton Research Institute has found another Trans-Dimensional portal incident, this time in the Americans suburbs of 1990. Disaffected teens, damaged by the secret disorders of the dysfunctional American family, ease their pain with Heavy Metal, Punk, Horror movies and D&D. Falling between the cracks of church, state and school—they spiral down to the drain that is Patton’s garage, until a real-life Scifi portal appears out of thin air.</p>
