Description

Here’s a little secret: Reality is insane.

A death cult led by a box of Kraft mac and cheese. The Bermuda Triangle. Lizard people walking among us. When every conspiracy theory, urban legend, and fever-dream headline is true, someone has to keep it all cataloged, contained, and out of sight. That someone is the Bureau of the Bizarre.

John Doe always thought his paranoid father was crazy, then the crazy showed up on his doorstep with a job offer. Now, he’s a Collector for the Bureau, partnered with Edith Sinner, a metanatural vampire with a murder glare and a past that refuses to stay buried. Their office is The Deep Estate, a liminal space carved out of The Backrooms, where nightmares take shape and reality bends to the collective unconscious. Their coworkers are anything but normal. Carrie is a stab-happy flying pencil. Marybeth is a Victorian doll with serious Devil Daddy issues. And then there is the Murder Clown...

But when John and Edie bump into a conspiracy the Bureau was never meant to see, reality itself is rewritten to frame them for murder. Hunted by their own and pursued through impossible corridors, they have to expose the truth before the Deep Estate’s secrets swallow them whole.

Equal parts cosmic horror and comic absurdity, Welcome to the Deep Estate is what happens when Men in Black stumbles into the Backrooms carrying a copy of Hitchhiker’s Guide.

A Note From the Publisher

Thank you so much for reading! I'm particularly looking for more reviews on Amazon and Goodreads.

Also, the sequel, Take Back the Deep Estate, is coming out soon, and I would love it if you could let me know whether you'd be interested in that ARC when it is available.

Advance Praise

"The literary equivalent of Viagra for conspiracy theorists." 5 Stars - Chanel Chapters, Youtube

"This novel is gloriously weird, deliciously demented, generously gory, and absolutely hilarious." 5 Stars - Horror Reads, Youtube

"'Welcome to the Deep Estate' has got to be one of the most entertaining books that I’ve read in a very long time." - Ben Roberts, Goodreads.

"I very rarely feel the need to tell everyone I have a casual conversation with about a book. I have had that need CONSTANTLY since I finished this one. This is a wonderful topsy-turvey mashup between Men in Black, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Twilight Zone and X-files, with a little weed humor for good measure. The absurdity very carefully walks the line between being 'Okay, this is just ridiculous' and 'Maybe lizard people really DO run everything." 5 Stars - Courtney Lake, Goodreads
