It started with an iron door buried in the backyard. It ends somewhere far darker.
While landscaping, Paul Prentice uncovers a strange metal door hidden beneath the soil. When his childhood friend Jay convinces him to open it, the two are plunged into The Between—a surreal, shifting world filled with nightmare creatures, labyrinthine rooms, and eerie echoes of an old text-based computer game from the 1980s.
In this warped reality, Paul and Jay begin playing roles that are rewriting who they are. And as their identities twist, the true danger may not be the monsters hunting them—but each other.
Blending horror, sci-fi, fantasy, and nostalgic gamer vibes, The Between is a propulsive and unsettling debut. Once you open the door, there’s no going back.
