X Lab is a collection of narratives that unfold on the border between wakefulness and dream. Each story begins with a familiar feeling, only to pull the ground out from under the reader halfway through. This is not a book about fear; it is about confronting worlds that no longer obey our rules. Worlds where a child without language cannot grasp meaning, a man becomes trapped in the cycle of a swamp, metallic beings dance to a merciless rhythm, a wave-rider drifts between life and death, and memory dissolves in realities where nothing stays fixed.
This book is for those who seek experience, not explanation — for those who prefer entering a world rather than interpreting it, and who want to witness realities whose only resemblance to our own is that they are just as unstable and shifting.
