When a Lit. project pairs the two together, Isobel finds herself steadily swept into Varen's world, one that he has created in his notebook and in his mind, one where the terrifying stories of Edgar Allan Poe come to life. Isobel slowly learns that dreams can be much more powerful than she'd ever expected, and that pain and despair come in all shades. As labels of \"goth\" and \"cheerleader\" fade away, she sees more in Varen than a tall, pale outcast, and a consuming romance is braced against the ever-clearer horror that the most terrifying realities are those within our own minds. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen Isobel has a single chance to rescue Varen from the shadows of his own nightmares, will she be able to save him -- and herself?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eCreagh, Kelly:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Kelly Creagh is a 2008 graduate of Spalding University's MFA in Creative Writing program.
