    In the city of Griffin, people are dying in droves from bizarre "accidents." But Emily Norbanus knows better. Plagued by prophetic nightmares, she's convinced an evil entity is behind the attacks. The problem? No one believes her. 
    After Emily is accused of murdering a journalist, the court orders a psychiatric evaluation to determine if she's sane enough to stand trial. Her father Amos agrees - clearly his daughter needs help. 
    But Emily is determined to expose the truth and save Griffin, even if she must do it alone. Her biggest obstacle is convincing Amos that her dreams point to one man: his enigmatic boss Arunthdati. Despite the gruesome deaths, Amos remains dedicated to Arunthdati. 
    Emily races to break his spell and persuade Amos of the coming danger before the city pays an unthinkable price. Will she prevail and prove her dreams are a gift rather than madness? Or will Emily end up another casualty in a waking nightmare? 
    Griffin’s Dream is a thrilling tale of paranormal twists that will keep you guessing until the final page. If you're a fan of Stephen King spine-tingling horrors and his ability to weave paranormal dread through ordinary lives, you'll devour this irresistible tale. 
    From An Editor, Erin Foster:-“I think you have a unique and well-told story on your hands, which is a benefit in a world where so many books being published are just re-tellings of the same old stories we've all been hearing for ages. This is especially important for you with a supernatural horror; I've read so many vampire stories at this point that they don't even have to try to put me to sleep. So reading something completely different was incredibly refreshing”

    We think we understand the laws of physics. 
     
     
     
    We think a lot of things. It was perhaps inevitable that some of them would turn out to be wrong. 
     
     
     
    When the great incursion occurred, no one was prepared. Of all the things physicists had predicted, "the fabric of reality might rip open and giant monsters could come pouring through" had not made the list. But somehow, that was precisely what happened. 
     
     
     
    For sisters Susan and Katharine Black, the day of the incursion was the day they lost everything. Their home, their parents, their sense of normalcy . . . and each other, because when the rift opened, each sister was stranded in a separate form of reality. For Susan, it was science and study and the struggle to solve the mystery of the altered physics inside the zones transformed by the incursion. For Katharine, it was monsters and mayhem and the fight to stay alive in a world unlike the world of her birth. 
     
     
     
    The world has changed. The laws of physics have changed. The girls have changed. And the one universal truth of all states of changed matter is that nothing can be completely restored to what it was originally, no matter how much you might wish it could be. 
     
     
     
    Nothing goes back.
