One story can destroy everything.August Shelley's voice is intoxicating. One word will paint a vivid image in your mind. A sentence will imprison your attention. Listen to an entire story, and you'll question what's real.The first time Nelly Huggett hears "Never Fear" at a school assembly, she's drugged by his voice, hypnotized by his words, and utterly petrified. But she's not just hypnotized.She feels like she's been trapped, inside the story.When Shelley takes his show to the Sterling Renaissance Festival in upstate New York, the mystery of the man's unusual artistry deepens. For his hypnotic tales don't just enrapture audiences, but propel them into horrific nightmares.Nightmares about a beast, just like the one in Shelley's signature story. Nightmares that hint he isn't just any storyteller, and everyone in his audience is in danger. If the Frontenac sisters don't stop him, the whole world might be next.For August Shelley proves that stories aren't just an escape. Dreams aren't nonsense. Nightmares are very real. And truth is just as strange as fiction.

Geordie Dittoe must die.Young, lost, confused, and scared of everything, Geordie has just barely become an adult. He hasn't even done anything important yet.But he's about to.Unbeknown to him, Geordie is mere hours away from the most fateful choice of his life; the wrong move could kill thousands of strangers, lead to his own early demise, or both. But the choice really isn't up to him. Someone else is directing his story, for a very simple reason: the balance of the universe is far too delicate to leave up to free will.Fate and destiny aren't just lofty ideas, they're very real forces far beyond anyone's control, manipulated by some and protected by others. And one bland Friday afternoon, Geordie will be shoved right in the middle of this eternal battle. But he has enough to deal with, between a job he's no good at and a soul-searching girlfriend, and some pretty agonizing questions he has yet to answer. Like... What should he do with his life? How does anyone know what's right and what's wrong? And, in the long run, which lives matter? Is it only the noteworthy, remarkable ones, or every dull, anonymous, pointless little life?

Strength in numbers. Death alone.Forgotten rural towns. A powerful mob. An ancient secret, too horrific to be believed. If Hyla and Lizeth don't solve this one, humanity will be doomed.

Everyone has a dark side. Some are darker than others. Monsters don't just live in your nightmares. They stalk daily life, seeking prey to sate their hungers.

A deranged mother? A secret crime? Or maybe it's a little girl, weaving a web of lies.For nine-year-old Nelly Huggett has quite a story to tell. Maybe she's just precocious, imaginative, and misunderstood... Or maybe that glimmer in her eye is deceit and cold vengeance. Maybe she's the source of the powerful evil that consumed her entire family. Wherever this evil comes from, it's dragging Hyla into the abyss faster than she can chase the clues. And she may lose herself before she can save anyone else."Very complex .. and very dark...Livernois writes so well that we never get ahead of the Frontenacs in working out exactly what's up." -- Dave Brzeski, Occult Detective Magazine★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "The book is truly a hand shaking, nail biting, looking over your shoulder thrill ride." - Amazon★ ★ ★ ★ ★ "...doesn't let go til the end.
