Welcome to the Building, an infinitely tall skyscraper in the center of the multiverse, where any floor could contain a sprawling desert oasis, a cyanide rain forest, or an entire world.

Carissa loves her elevator. Up and Down she goes, content with the sometimes chewy food her reality fabricator spits out, as long as it means she doesn’t have to speak to another living person.

But when a mysterious shapeshifter from an ambiguous world lands on top of her elevator, intent on stopping a plot to annihilate hundreds of floors, Carissa finds herself stepping out of her elevator. She is forced to flee into the Wild Massive network of theme parks in The Building, where technology, sorcery, and elaborate media tie-ins combine to form impossible ride experiences, where every guest is a VIP, the roller coasters are frequently safe, and if you don’t have a valid day pass, the automated defense lasers will escort you from being alive.

"Throughout this sprawling, ambitious romp, Moore draws from numerous perspectives and gleefully embraces the inherent absurdity of both setting and premise... there's no shortage of wild ideas here. Readers are in for a rollicking trip through the fun house." - Publisher's Weekly

"This is an immersive and unique sci-fi fantasy adventure. It’s compelling in a sociological sense, featuring a society that is blinded by its own complacency and overindulgence. Carissa and Andasir are relatable characters with murky motivations, but the vast theme park setting really drives the story with a good blend of magic and science. VERDICT The latest from Moore (Battle of the Linguist Mages) is perfect for those who enjoy offbeat sci-fi where the weak stand up to the strong." - Library Journal

"Dizzyingly plotted and blisteringly creative, Moore’s novel is a delightful escapist adventure." - Tordotcom

"Scotto Moore’s Wild Massive defies simple description. The closest that I can come up with is that it’s weird in all the best ways." - Primmlife

"An incredible, delightfully messy romp... An insane attempt to make art about both the individual process of making art, and the corporate need to usurp the process for profit and perfecting the creative process. But it’s also a fun heartwarming tale about two fugitives trying to find safety from the people trying to kill them." - The Quill to Live

"Wild Massive is an outlandish inter-dimensional sci-fi fever dream and lives up to it’s title in every way and sure to be unlike anything you’ve read before." - FanFiAddict
