I listened to the audiobook edition of Under the Stairs, and I have to say that these stories feel even more unsettling in audio than they might on the page.
Sebastian Wilson is an aspiring actor whose latest “role” leads him into the lives of a wonderfully eclectic group of people. What I found especially interesting is that the male lead is a catalyst rather than the center of everyone else’s story. Without even realizing it, Wilson becomes exactly what several people need at pivotal moments in their lives, even as he struggles to accept himself for who he really is.
Science fiction is often at its most satisfying when it combines imaginative ideas with believable human stakes, and Andrea Goyan’s The Catalyst does exactly that. The novel balances scientific intrigue with questions about responsibility, identity, and the unintended consequences of discovery, creating a story that’s as engaging intellectually as it is entertaining.

Cool shot; is that yours?
I new it was a gyroscope like device before it read it above the picture.
I have an old one that was given to me by Santa way back, it is almost antique.
Motorcycle wheels act like gyroscopes too, they try to keep pointed in the direction they came from.
I found that out the day a muffler popped up from under a car I was following at about 80 mph.
The bike kept straight ahead!
I’d like to have a device like that one. Nice picture.
Happy WW!

I had a gyroscope when I was a kid, loved it…it wasn’t htis big though, nice shot…could be something the Borg left for Jean Luc Picard…
That is just SO cool. I love how the light plays off the curved gunmetal surfaces. Science meets art.
Interesting! MY daughter recently did something to do with gyroscopes for school – to be honest it was the first time I ever heard of them!!
what a treasure that is!! I love that. My son would love one of those.
Because some people asked… I took this picture with my Samsung Blackjack Cell phone, following a friend’s tenet that the best camera for the job is the one you have with you.
It’s a navigational gyroscope from a dirigible (airship), and I snapped the picture at the Frontiers of Flight museum at Dallas’s Love Field on Saturday.
That’s pretty cool! Nice shot too:)
