The Dream Thief: A Novel »

College should be about living your dreams, not reliving your nightmares. A curse looms over an old New England college. It is a form of nightmare so invasive and so corrupting that it robs students of their security, their will, and-for some-their lives. What frightens young, depressed Alycia Bancroft isn't the hellish landscape of her dreams. It isn't the steady descent into madness or the painful memories her nightmares revisit. It isn't the mysterious stranger lurking outside her window. What terrifies her is the thought that she alone may hold the answers to surviving this sinister force.
