While landscaping his backyard, ever-conscientious Paul Prentice discovers an iron door buried in the soil. His childhood friend and perpetual source of mischief, Jay Lightsey, pushes them to explore what's beneath.

When the door slams shut above them, Paul and Jay are trapped in a between-worlds place of Escher-like rooms and horror story monsters, all with a mysterious connection to a command-line, dungeon explorer computer game from the early '80s called The Between.

Paul and Jay find themselves filling roles in a story that seems to play out over and over again. But in this world, where their roles warp their minds, the biggest threat to survival may not be the Ko?maro, risen from the Between's depths to hunt them; the biggest danger may be each other.

"I found The Between dark, super creepy, and pushing the limits of my limited amounts of courage to explore-but I couldn't stop myself from coming back for more because it's propulsive, addictive, and scary good fun." - Sean Gibson, author of The Stuff About the Dragon Was (Mostly) True

"...an incredibly intricate novel that skillfully blends aspects of horror, sci-fi, fantasy, and cyberpunk." - Nicole Willson, author of Tidepool.

"While in the first third of this book, I mentioned that the atmosphere reminded me of one of my favorite horror novels, SL Grey's The Mall. There's a surreal, not-right quality to that book that touched off a nerve in me that I just adored....I don't at all mean this as an insult, as that's a damn fun book- and so is this one! ....It's almost like a grown up, more gory and violent horror version of Heir Apparent." - Alexandra, Goodreads

"This debut novel by author Ryan Leslie combines elements of science fiction and horror that at times reminded me of The Hike by Drew Magary and Off To Be The Wizard by Scott Meyer, all while being something distinctly different." - Matt, Goodreads

"It was a great mix of horror, sci-fi and adventure gaming!" - Stephanie, Goodreads

“Have you ever wished you could live your life over again? Or, to put it more succinctly: if you were offered the chance to go back to some point in your past and become your younger self, while still retaining all your accumulated wisdom and memories, would you choose to do so? And if you did, what point would you go back to, and what, if anything, would you change?"

This is the question posed to Rix Vaughn by world-renowned particle physicist and spiritual adept, Heyoka Husereau D'Ailleboust, whose melding of quantum mechanics with changes in brain chemistry during Native American rituals has set the stage for a bizarre experiment.

Rix—an aging, drug-ravaged, alcoholic singer/songwriter—must eventually answer that question, though his initial reaction to the proposal is one of extreme skepticism. After being persuaded to join Heyoka at his ranch-style villa in the foothills of the densely-forested Jura Mountains, Rix is secretly fed a drug cocktail that allows him to experience several astonishingly realistic memory flashbacks. Shaken and emotionally confused, he is about to refuse Heyoka’s offer, when he is introduced to Heyoka’s assistant, Aurélie, a brilliant mathematician with a knack for explaining complex scientific matters using simple metaphorical examples.

Aurélie eventually convinces Rix to reconsider, and once committed to the program, he relies on her careful guidance to prepare him for an extraordinary journey through the labyrinth of probabilities that lie at the very edge of space and time.

“Then Again is a captivating tale that delves into the ethereal aspects of quantum physics and Native American spirituality to set the stage for an examination of the emotional challenges and unpredictable consequences of attempting to rewrite the past. Though scientifically speculative, the novel tells an eminently believable, near-future story that chronicles the multiple lives of singer/songwriter Rix Vaughn as he undergoes a bizarre experiment in parallel-universe manipulation.”
