!! Plot (Spoiler Free)
Wes Porter is an insanity-inducing MillionairePlayboy whose AddictionPowered ability to see the future is unpredictable now he's (mostly) sober. When he sees the end of the world - twice - he becomes convinced his own powers and bad decisions are to blame for the visions of destruction and orgiastic cult he's seen. Unfortunately, all his attempts to thwart the apocalypse seem to lead right towards it - and Wes begins to realise that clinging to his PowerHigh is more important to him than the survival of mankind...

!! Synopsis
Three possible futures. Two versions of the apocalypse. One chance to save the world.
Wes Porter, a severely depressed insanity-inducing playboy, is detoxing from hallucinogens that have unlocked his ability to see versions of potential futures - and he's just foreseen two ways the world could end. He's a prime example of the AddictionPowered trope, with PsychicPowers. Normally, Wes would leave the hero bullshit to somebody else (he's a morally grey AntiHero), but he can't abdicate responsibility this time... not when both those apocalypses might be his fault.
With some prompting from a mythological bard-prophet who may or may not be real, and a lot of assistance from his monster-eating baby sister who desperately wants to move out of his apartment and their soothsayer cousin who has his own demons to fight, Wes attempts to save [his] world... but have his poor decisions doomed them all?
THE DAY WE ATE GRANDAD is a dysfunctional family cosmic horror novel for fans of ''Series/WhatWeDoInTheShadows2019'', ''Podcast/TheMagnusArchives'', and ''Literature/TheCallOfCthulhu'', with themes of bereavement and grief, generational trauma, and a dash of Roman & Welsh mythology.
