Grace Welch has written a compelling, gut-wrenching novel of dark fantasy with a modern twist. Aisling, the protagonist, opens doors to other places and times, where she works for gods, fey, and the common good. The trick is, in her normal life, she's no more than an office assistant with a talking foo dog disguised as a pug. She suffers from all the usual Gen-X and Millennial malaise, not letting on that there are things in this world too strange for the average person to experience. Welch shares Aisling's story with a mix of wit and dread, finding laughter in the commonplace and utter horror in the fantastical. The book will take you on a journey as much into yourself as through the realms Aisling visits. You can't read this novel without experience joy, rage, and sorrow, all while on an adventure unlike anything you might expect. --Ace Boggess, author of States of Mercy and A Song Without a Melody
