Greetings, travelers.  In our trips through the Otherworld, sometimes the most unsettling paths are the ones that begin with certainty.  Today, our journey takes us into the liminal space between rational investigation and creeping impossibility.  Here, data, documentation, and cold logic begin to fail.  If you’re drawn to stories where curiosity becomes obsession and patterns refuse to stay contained, step carefully into today’s promo for The Fifth Anomaly.

Author Darrell Breeden brings a distinctive voice to modern cosmic horror in his debut, The Fifth Anomaly: A Threshold Chronicle (The Threshold Chronicles Book 1).  In this series opener, he blends a multicultural perspective with a methodical, systems-driven approach that gives the story an unnerving sense of authenticity.  The author uses a lifetime of experiences to inform the way characters investigate the unknown.  They feel fully realized, not operating with blind belief, but with skepticism, tools, and process.  This grounding makes the moments of fracture all the more powerful, and readers will witness logic bend, repeat, and quietly betray those who rely on it most.  The result is a story that lives squarely in the space where the best horror thrives: between wonder and dread.

Four successful investigations. Zero confirmed supernatural encounters. The Urban Exploration Society has debunked dozens of urban legends with science and documentation.
Until Hillrose Penitentiary.What begins as another routine investigation becomes something else entirely when Marcus Chen’s team discovers a pattern. A pattern that repeats across decades, etched into the prison’s structure and buried in its records. As they document the anomaly, the pattern begins to replicate. In their footage. In their notes. In their perception of time itself.
Some patterns demand to be observed. And observation changes the observer.The Fifth Anomaly is the first book in The Threshold Chronicles, a cosmic horror series exploring the boundaries between humanity and their place in objective reality. This edition features an integrated soundtrack experience. Scan QR codes at chapter endings to hear the music that accompanies each threshold.

For readers of American Gods, House of Leaves, and the New Weird.

What truly sets The Fifth Anomaly apart is its immersive design.  Breeden expands the narrative beyond the page through transmedia storytelling, with case files, locations, and investigation history woven into a broader mythology that feels lived-in and disturbingly plausible.  Thoughtful, suspenseful, and meticulously constructed, The Fifth Anomaly is a standout debut for readers who enjoy cosmic horror that rewards close attention and lingering thought.  Fans of cerebral horror will find much to admire here.  If you’re ready to question what observation truly does to the observer, now is the perfect time to begin the investigation.  Check out The Fifth Anomaly: A Threshold Chronicle (The Threshold Chronicles Book 1) on Amazon today!
