Horror

"Johnston continues his epic quest to breathe spasming, blasphemous, unforgettable life into the moribund staples of the horror genre."
Mike Carey

"Diverting and entertaining... Brings an interesting horror/mystery to life in an exciting way."
Augie De Blieck, Jr

Thirty years ago an experiment went horribly wrong, killing one of the scientists involved. Project Hermes should have signalled a triumph of humanity: the discovery of true quantum teleportation. Instead it was deemed a failure, cancelled and covered up. Forgotten by everyone.

Everyone except Graham Butcher. After devoting his life to the completion of Project Hermes the reclusive physicist is now dying, penniless and bitter. But not before the Project is completed.

Tonight, Butcher has invited six people to his home. Together they will witness the dawn of a new age, drawn from a past they all want to forget... And soon they will remember why Hermes should never have been unleashed.
