"A unique vision. Automatons, angels, and cosmic horror nuns are only the beginning of a murder mystery wondrously orbited by metaphysical sci-fi as only A. C. Wise can weave together. Out of the Drowning Deep introduces a universe of the undefinable fantastic, gifted by one of our finest imaginations." Hailey Piper, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of A Light Most Hateful"A strange and singular book. Wise has crafted a story quite unlike any other and it blew my mind. One of the best books I've read in a long time." Tendai Huchu, author of The Library of the Dead"Full of fantastic queer representation and a broad range of voices within the cast of characters, Out of the Drowning Deep makes each perspective relatable to audiences...Richly textured and easy to imagine."

I loved every word of this gorgeous novella." Emmi Itaranta, author of The Moonday Letters"Out of the Drowning Deep is entertaining, moving, and gave me a fresh perspective on myself-what more could I want from a novella?
