Nightmares bleed into the waking world. Featuring a full-length
novel, "The Underlighters," and eleven stand-alone short stories,
this collection blends fairy tales, horror, and science fiction. A
city of shadows lurks underground. Restless ghosts, eerie dolls,
and spiteful stepmothers wait among other dreams. These are
haunting stories of love, madness and small disasters. "The
Underlighters" is a dystopian horror coming-of-age adventure that
follows the life of Janelle Cohen from insignificance to
bitter-sweet triumph. "Footsteps in the Snow" is a Lovecraftian
nightmare set in a Canadian winter. "A Shot of Vodka," a darkly
realistic exploration of life after trauma, rounds out the
collection. More and stranger stories fill in the gaps. This
genre-breaking anthology is a new and ferocious look at the frailty
of the human condition. Gender and sexual mores are rewritten;
dreams and reality merge. Primal fears take physical form. This
beautifully-written thrill ride will captivate you long after the
last page.
