When he steps into a portal\u2014the sandwich board outside his favorite Mexican restaurant\u2014he discovers a multiverse inhabited by endless iterations of himself.

The Wormhole Society<\/em> puts the American obsession with resurrection and salvation under the microscope. Medical charlatans offer cure-alls for erectile dysfunction and a host of other ailments with plans that produce credit card-style rewards points. Hucksters with biblical stories of revelation and reform populate the twelve-step program to which the novel\u2019s title alludes. The Wormhole Society<\/em> is a satiric examination of time travel and utopian notions of fantasy and science fiction.<\/p>\n

Foreword Reviews<\/em> writes:<\/a>
\n“The book strikes a delicate balance between dark introspection and humor…The art flows thanks to creative page layouts and interesting depictions of a variety of eras…a man has a fantastic romp across the multiverse, hoping to become a better person.\u201d<\/p>\n

Booklife, Publishers Weekly <\/em>observes:<\/a>
\nLevy\u2019s script wastes few words, while Silver\u2019s layouts deftly guide the reader\u2019s eye to what matters most in each moment, whether the scene is wrenching, silly, grand, or heartening…Rusty\u2019s world of alleys, fire escapes, filthy apartments, and basement meetings is touchingly desolate, while the fantastical stuff\u2014from Camelot to prehistoric rutting\u2014bursts with energy\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
