LUCID PARASITES
Architect Marcus Reynolds has always possessed extraordinary lucid dreaming abilities, creating elaborate dreamscapes as escape from his unfulfilling reality in the decaying city of Meridian. But when strange entities begin feeding on his dream constructions-and then manifest as gray patches on his bedroom wall-Marcus must determine whether he's losing his mind or something malevolent has crossed the threshold between dimensions. His search for answers leads him to the Threshold Sleepers, others who've glimpsed these parasitic entities, and reveals Meridian's dark secret: a classified 1970s government project that pierced the veil between realities, using predominantly Black test subjects-including Marcus's grandmother. As the "Morphai" entities spread throughout the city, transforming buildings and manifesting people's dreams into horrifying reality, Marcus discovers a terrifying truth: these creatures aren't simply invading our world-human dreams have been invading theirs for centuries. Now, with both dimensions at risk of catastrophic collapse, Marcus faces an impossible choice that could reshape reality itself.Complete
