Valen is seventeen, broke, and utterly alone.
After his parents' death, he drops out of school and sinks into quiet despair, surviving in the shadows of a forgotten city. One day, in a haze of grief, desperation, and a dangerously strong brew of coffee and... something else, he collapses—only to awaken in a world eerily similar to his own, but twisted, empty, and wrong.
Somehow, the coffee gave him a doorway.
Now able to travel between two worlds, Valen discovers his strange brew does more than just keep him awake—it changes reality. With nothing left to lose, he begins selling coffee from his rundown home, attracting customers who want more than caffeine... and drawing the attention of things not entirely human.
To survive, Valen must uncover the secret behind his cursed drink, the eerie world it connects to, and the cost of staying awake too long.
Tbh although it kind of feels weird to be the first reader, I really like the overall vibe of this novel. Lol now I will remember this novel everytime I drink coffee.
it's a new lovecraftian horror book. if your'rea fan of mystery type of novel, it's a good shot.
