FOREVER URTTH
A NOVEL
“I think that peace is finding beauty … and power is finding it everywhere. I think that’s what makes me cry these days …”
On December 32, Sloan Slagg sits before an oncoming train.
But death doesn't come. Instead, Sloan wakes aboard another train—one headed out of Baltimore—and possibly from reality itself.
She arrives in Tolberima: a realm of snowbound harbors, colossal mountains, and impossible architecture. There, a cryptic old man awaits her with an offer too strange to refuse—unimaginable compensation in exchange for a small possession she doesn’t even know she has ... and may not survive giving up. As Sloan’s grip on truth begins to splinter, she’s forced to confront what she’s spent a lifetime outrunning.
Darkly surreal and psychologically charged, Forever Urtth is a genre-defying journey through love, longing and the dangerous terrain of memory.

This single peak is … terrifying. A monument of monuments. A pyramid of stone. A defiant chevron of snow-capped rock, rising—crescendoing in a point of transgressive earth far beyond the highest cloud.
The arm of the gramophone retracts from the spindle. Ka-rump. Ka-rump. A train … of thought. Gouged into place, sealed for, and in, eternity.
“Convince this old man that you love him,” he says. “You have thirty seconds.”
“What?”
“Let’s make it fifteen.”
“Your failure to result in the swift and permanent removal of your person from this hemisphere.”
“I will have wildfire for veins, oceans for arteries, foothills for tits, Kilimanjaro for an ass… I will know. I will change.”
