Gathering Leaves Reviews

Flap Copy
An intriguing phenomenon in literature and arts. A maverick professor's quest to find answers. And a discovery that will shock the world.
These are stressful times for professor Harriet Sterling. She's on the verge of fully deciphering why books, TV, film, and advertising are suddenly being altered, a phenomenon she named bleedover. But her controversial theories are ruining her credibility.
She needs proof, and fast, before her career hits a dead end. She also must move quickly before her long-time enemy, successful business man and psychotic H.P Lovecraft fan Corbin Lyell, can buy his way into controlling bleedover. That would mean Corbin's golden ticket to fulfilling twisted prophecies of summoning dark monsters from the worlds of his pulp heroes.
When Dr. Sterling's research team accidentally decodes a mysterious book insertion and successfully generates an apple out of thin air, the world takes notice. So does an enraged Corbin who plans a massive attack with deadly consequences.
With a blend of science fiction and fantasy, Bleedover explores provocative territory that guarantees a journey full of unexpected twists and turns.
