Diaries of Darkwana: Book One

Imagine if Clive Barker and Douglas Adams wrote an action-stuffed, anime-like fantasy in which every world offered a living Gateway, capable of drifting from one realm to the next.
Wally Cook lives as such a Gateway, able to bring people and items from one kingdom to the next.

Until now, he thought every reality he witnessed proved a fictional nightmare. He didn't know he traveled, while sleeping, into other realms . . . such as the dystopian dreamscape of Darkwana.
But Darkwana's dictator, Vasuki, knows about Wally. Needing the Gateway's talents to sneak his terrifying army, the Merchants of Chaos, into Earth, he seals Wally within Darkwana.

If Vasuki's supernatural hunters find Wally before he finds his exit, Vasuki will conquer our world.
Wally doesn't give a shit about that, though. He must return to Earth in time to catch a phone call. He faces only two days before his phone rings. If he misses it, he'll lose his one opportunity to set right the sins of his childhood.

Nothing else matters.

While trapped in Darkwana, he'll befriend a clan of anthropomorphic foxes called kitsunes, unravel Darkwana's hidden histories, and face both the demons of their world . . . and those of his past.

His setting proves unforgiving. His hunters seem nearly godlike in their power. Every overturned secret leads down a darker rabbit hole.

But as Buthaynah (the purple-furred, shape-shifting fox-woman with a drinking problem) would say: "The light shall always skull-fuck the darkness and punch evil in the dick."
