The Way We Used to Walk - Paperback

Fifteen years ago, six college housemates accidentally opened a dimensional threshold, unleashing monsters into their world. Charlie was the only one who dared to touch the portal, gaining the secret language to close it-at a terrible cost. His wife died, and his friends' memories of the trauma were erased, leaving him to carry the burden alone.

Now, Charlie and his estranged friends are worn down by adulthood, battling burnout, divorce, and deep personal demons. When the monsters return Charlie tries to walk away-until his conscience drags him back. To stop the Nowhere Men for good, Charlie teaches his found family the secret language that saved them once before. Together, they must confront their past, their lost friend, and the monsters threatening reality itself.

What happens when the saviors of the world are falling apart at the seams?
