""Sam was only seven-years old when he destroyed his first universe. He didn't do it on purpose, though. In fact, he had no idea what he was doing." So begins the story of Sam, a New York City bartender who one day discovers that his girlfriend, Una, happens to own an Aboriginal idol that can transport them to alternate realities. But after Una's sudden and untimely death, Sam's sanity becomes a wobbling tightrope act as he convinces himself that Una must still be alive somewhere in the multiverse. As he searches for her with the reluctant help of Sal, a sardonic loner, and Hazel, Sam's best friend, his understanding of reality rapidly unravels as he explores universes of Fear, Death, Dream, and even the Primordial Void. Of course, it's when Sam learns out how to travel through Time that things start to get really weird. Both hilarious and tragic, ARTEFACTUM tells the story of the more unfortunate side of fate where, for every knight destined to slay a dragon, someone else is destined to be the dragon." --
