Summary
Years after the averted apocalypse, and Jonathan Sims is happy as he'll ever be in his life - he lives with Martin, he works with Basira, he sees his friends most weeks, he's happily wedged between the Beholding and the rest of the world.
He hasn't seen a Leitner since the end of the world that wasn't, and he's content to keep it that way.
But this one is different. If he reads this one, he vanishes. If he reads this one, he's in a world where he never existed.
But the longer he lives in this world, the further he drifts from the things keeping him tethered - and is reality really better for having him in it?

Summary
The Eye Knows and Sees all, but it cannot understand. That’s what the Archivist is for, to experience, understand, and archive terrible knowledge and fear, and filter that back to the Eye. If Jonah Magnus is the Pupil of the Eye, then Jonathan Sims is the brain that processes what the Eye and Pupil see, for the Beholding does not possess the neural pathways required to feel, let alone understand, fear. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on who you ask) that is about to change.
What happens when a knowledge-seeking entity that cannot think is directly linked to a (lonely, stubborn, morally strict, self-deprecating) human who thinks plenty enough for the both of them?
Or:
the Beholding gains sentience and promptly realizes: life is unfair and existence is pain, but at least it has its funky little Archivist.Jon, freshly woken from a six-month coma, gains a loyal, if annoying, companion during his lowest point.

Summary
“I’m already dead, after all.” Gerry smiles, a mirthless flash of teeth. “If I pop out of existence tomorrow, fine. If I stick around for a while, well—at least now I’ve got someone to talk to.” His tone of voice is still blasé, but his gaze falls heavily on Jon, as though asking, Right?
“Yes,” says Jon. “Yes, of course.”
---
When Jon wakes up from his coma, he finds that while Gerry may still be dead, he’s not exactly gone.

Summary
When Martin Blackwood moves into the house at the cliff's edge, his only goal is to forgot his life in London and put his mother's death behind him. Instead, he discovers the following: a many-eyed ghost, a handsome and off-putting medium, and the end to his grief. Not necessarily in that order.
