Two parallel stories about characters trapped in illogical endless spaces: two brothers and a detective locked on an infinite staircase, and a family locked on an infinite road—for a very long time.

A mind puzzle for sci-fi lovers, Isaac Ezban’s twisty debut ingenuously cages everyday occurrences in a time-warping logic. As characters find themselves locked in never-ending staircases and roads that stretch to infinity, The Incident imagines a nightmarish multiverse rooted in family secrets.
