May Dawson is plagued by a recurring dream of a dark, cold house before she discovers she is actually sleepwalking to a local cemetery. Her nocturnal wanderings escalate into a series of terrifying incidents that she cannot remember upon waking. As the somnambulism takes a violent turn, May begins to suspect that she is being framed or manipulated. She must determine if her subconscious mind is acting out a buried trauma or if a physical presence in her small town is orchestrating her nightly disappearances to cover up a crime.
Fans of young adult horror and psychological suspense read this title for the fast pace and the twisting plot. The narrative provides a clinical look at the loss of bodily autonomy and the fear of one’s own mind. Readers walk away with a tension-filled mystery that hinges on the reliability of memory and the possibility that the greatest threat is not a supernatural entity, but a person motivated by mundane, earthly secrets.
