Gotham meets Strange the Dreamer in this thrilling young adult
fantasy about a cowardly girl who finds herself at the center of a
criminal syndicate conspiracy, in a city where crooked politicians
and sinister cults reign and dreaming means waking up as your worst
nightmare. Ever since her sister became a man-eating spider and
slaughtered her way through town, nineteen-year-old Ness has been
terrified--terrified of some other Nightmare murdering her, and
terrified of ending up like her sister. Because in Newham, the city
that never sleeps, dreaming means waking up as your worst fear.
Whether that means becoming a Nightmare that's monstrous only in
appearance, to transforming into a twisted, unrecognizable creature
that terrorizes the city, no one is safe. Ness will do anything to
avoid becoming another victim, even if that means lying low among
the Friends of the Restful Soul, a questionable organization that
may or may not be a cult. But being a member of maybe-cult has a
price. In order to prove herself, Ness cons her way into what's
supposed to be a simple job for the organization--only for it to
blow up in her face. Literally. Tangled up in the aftermath of an
explosive assassination, now Ness and the only other survivor--a
Nightmare boy who Ness suspects is planning to eat her--must find
their way back to Newham and uncover the sinister truth behind the
attack, even as the horrors of her past loom ominously near.

Chaos reigns over the City of Newham in the thrilling conclusion to
the City of Nightmares duology, by critically acclaimed author
Rebecca Shaeffer. All nightmares begin as dreams. Nineteen-year-old
Ness used to be terrified of Nightmares - people who'd turned into
their worst fears while they slept. Now, after two assassination
attempts, an explosion, and a bargain with a demon, she's finally
free of her terror. But Nightmares aren't the only dangerous thing
in Newham. And Ness still has to reckon with her other fears -
including her fear of mortality. It's easy to die in Newham, but
hard to live. So when the monster responsible for creating
Nightmares asks her for a favour, she agrees - as long as he will
turn her into an indestructible Nightmare of her choice in
exchange, so she can finally feel safe. Soon things spiral out of
control. Now, Ness is in the crosshairs of enemies old and new, and
this time, she can't run from her problems. If she wants to
survive, she's going to have to conquer the most difficult enemy of
all: herself.

"Twisty, grisly, genre-bending and immersive, Not Even Bones will
grab you by the throat and drag you along as it gleefully tramples
all of your expectations." --Sara Holland, New York Times
best-selling author of Everless Dexter meets This Savage Song in
this dark fantasy about a girl who sells magical body parts on the
black market--until she's betrayed. Nita doesn't murder
supernatural beings and sell their body parts on the internet--her
mother does that. Nita just dissects the bodies after they've been
"acquired." Until her mom brings home a live specimen and Nita
decides she wants out; dissecting a scared teenage boy is a step
too far. But when she decides to save her mother's victim, she ends
up sold in his place--because Nita herself isn't exactly "human."
She has the ability to alter her biology, a talent that is
priceless on the black market. Now on the other side of the bars,
if she wants to escape, Nita must ask herself if she's willing to
become the worst kind of monster. Now available as a Webtoon!
