Description
Skid doesn’t believe in ghosts or time travel or any of that nonsense. A circus runaway-turned-bouncer, she believes in hard work, self-defense, and good, strong coffee. Then, one day, an annoying theoretical physicist named Dave pops into the seat next to her at her least favorite Kansas City bar and disappears into thin air when she punches him (he totally deserved it).
Now, street names are changing, Skid’s favorite muffins are swapping frosting flavors, and Dave keeps reappearing in odd places like the old Sanderson murder house.
And that’s only the start of her problems. Something in the world has gone wrong. Terribly wrong. Absolutely f--ked up.
Someone has the nastiest versions of every conceivable reality at their fingertips, and they're not afraid to smash them together. With the help of a smooth-talking haunted-house owner and a linebacker-sized Dungeons and Dragons-loving baker, Skid and Dave set out to save the world from whatever scientific experiment has sent them all dimension-hopping against their will.

Advance Praise
“Unlikely heroes, unwitting villains, and cutting-edge scientific speculation abound. VERDICT: Offutt (Chasing American Monsters) has created an engaging, quirky, somewhat scientifically believable scenario…”
—Library Journal
“Offutt’s plotting delights as the consequences of the characters’ trips through time ripple forward to build a satisfying puzzle.”
—Publishers Weekly
“A hilarious sci-fi adventure for true geeks and everyone who appreciates a well-timed pop culture reference, a timey-wimey puzzle populated by memorable characters.”
—Jeff Somers, author of Ustari Cycle and The Avery Cates series
“When time and dimensions become malleable, every possibility has a probability. And it adds up to a wild adventure. I’ll never think of ‘Do you know the muffin man?’ the same again.”
—Dr. David Richardson, Associate Professor of Physics at Northwest Missouri State University
