At the
University of Corporeal & Ethereal Studies meddling with unknown powers can
be dangerous work. Courses in arts and sciences experiment with supernatural
forces to solve the mysteries of the universe, but when school projects go
awry, the students may discover more than they would like to about the madness
of the cosmic 'Beyond'.
Eight
interwoven stories follow students whose school work, social lives and inner
demons crash together, leading to fantastic and horrible experiences, supernatural
powers, and a fuller understanding of the dark depths of their world.
Classes
include subjects such as time travel, alchemy, oneironautics , psychedelic
transformation, rogue automatons, cosmic ghosts, reality-warping crystals, and
more.
Inspired
by many authors of science fiction, fantasy and horror, including H.P. Lovecraft,
Edgar Allan Poe, J.K. Rowling, Neil Gaiman, William Gibson, Kurt Vonnegut and
Isaac Asimov.
