Dark Creatures

By Erin Swoboda

In this world, justice isn't a choice. It's a law as absolute as gravity.

Commit an act of violence, and you pay the price in your sleep. Whether intended or accidental, anyone who inflicts bodily harm is dragged into the Dark Town-a metaphysical purgatory where nightmarish creatures hunt the guilty. And in this world, if you die in the dream, you never wake up.

When a brutal family fight ends in the tragic death of their abusive father, young Nickel makes a choice that defies the laws of the universe. To protect his older brother, Faulk, from a life-sentence of nightmares, Nickel steps in to take the blame.

He is the only one who can cast the dark creatures away, but his blessing quickly transforms into a terminal curse. Now, lost in a forest where the line between reality and hallucination has dissolved, Nickel must outrun the ghosts of his past and the literal monsters of his guilt.

Survival is the only law. Sleep is the only enemy.
