Menschens Portal Emporium: Doors to the Multiverse

By A. M. McCaffrey

Peregrine, an impoverished student, embarks from Menschens Portal Emporium on a quest to find the key to a mysterious portal and prevent an invasion by an army of the most fearsome creatures created in literature.
In a multi-reality universe, there can be no distinction between fact and fiction, and characters first created in novels can live independent lives. However, some cannot accept that they live a predestined life, and choose to remain as characters in a book, rather than face the truth of their inauthentic existence.
In an alternative London of 1880, three former characters from the David Copperfield novel ask Peregrine for asylum in his home world of Earth Minor, a planet-size satellite. On his return, Peregrine finds that a rival has blackmailed his girlfriend, Montana, into signing a legal marriage contract. The convicted clerk, Uriah Heep, unexpectedly comes to the rescue with a terrifying ultimatum.
As the climax intensifies, Peregrine enters a nightmare reality where his whole life is a play, and an actress takes the part of his beloved Montana. She is the exact double of Montana but says that her name is Julia, and she has a life that does not include Peregrine. Who is the real Montana? Does the reality where they met and fell in love still exist, and can he ever return?
Menschens Portal Emporium takes readers on a journey that blurs the lines between fiction and reality, challenging our perceptions of both.
