For over 20 years, Carlton Mellick III has been writing some of the strangest and most compelling novels the bizarro fiction genre has to offer. Described as one of the top 40 science-fiction writers under the age of 40 by The Guardian and "one of the most original novelists working today" by splatterpunk legend Edward Lee, Mellick returns with a surreal horror story that explores sexual tension and the darkness hidden within the human psyche.
Dreams shouldn't kill you. If you die in a dream you should be fine in real life. But that's not what Elias learns once he moves in with a girl named Roe who has the terrible habit of pulling people into her dreams with her whenever she falls asleep. Although she's the nicest, coolest, most attractive woman Elias has ever known while she's awake, Roe is a complete psychopath in her dreams. She will stop at nothing to kill anyone who finds their way into her subconscious worlds. But Elias has no choice but to survive her crazy dreams every night if he ever hopes to make it in a world that has been torn apart by a global pandemic and economic collapse.
In the tradition of Nightmare on Elm Street, comes a surreal and violent love story from the author of Neverday, Spider Bunny, and Every Time We Meet at the Dairy Queen Your Whole Fucking Face Explodes.
