  A strange old man, "so old that no one can remember when he was young, and so taciturn that few know his real name," lives alone in an ancient house on Water Street in the town of Kingsport. Even among the locals, few know the details of the old man's life, but it is believed that he once captained East Indian clipper ships in his youth and accumulated great riches throughout his life. Those who had visited the property had seen bizarre collections of stones in the front yard and observed the old man carrying on conversations with mysterious bottles on his table, which make "certain definite vibrations as if in answer." Most locals take care to avoid the man and his house. Angelo Ricci, Joe Czanek and Manuel Silva, three robbers, learn about the old man's supposed hoard of treasure and resolve to take it. Ricci and Silva go inside to "interview" the old man about the treasure, while Czanek waits outside in the getaway car. After waiting impatiently for a long time, Czanek is startled by an outburst of horrific screaming from the house but assumes that his colleagues have been too rough with the old man during their interrogation. However, the gate of the house opens, revealing the old man "smiling hideously" at him. For the first time, Czanek takes note of the man's unsettling yellow eyes. The mutilated bodies of the three robbers are later found by the seaside, "horribly slashed as with many cutlasses, and horribly mangled as by the tread of many cruel boot-heels." The people of Kingsport talk about the discovery, as well as about the abandoned car and the screams heard in the night, but the old man shows no interest in their gossip.

  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”
