Enter the Strange Detroit Universe

Welcome to a world where renovation projects uncover cosmic horrors, elevator rides become interdimensional nightmares, and ordinary people stumble into extraordinary—and terrifying—circumstances.

I'm Joe Orange, and I write science fiction that starts in the familiar and plunges into the impossible. My Strange Detroit series merges cosmic horror with noir-tinged science fiction, exploring what happens when blue-collar workers, ex-thieves, and everyday people discover that reality isn't quite what they thought it was.

Whether my characters are facing temporal anomalies in The Bootstrap Paradox or navigating interdimensional portals in The Lift, I keep one foot firmly planted in reality while the other steps boldly into the unknown.

So, if you're drawn to stories where house renovations reveal hidden doors to impossible places, where midnight shifts become races against warped dimensions, this is your kind of strange.
