The New York Times bestselling author of the Sandman Slim series
delivers a wonderful stand-alone dark fantasy in which a young girl is
caught between the worlds of the living and the dead.
After her father's funeral, Zoe moved to the big city with her mother to
start over. But change always brings trials, and life in the city is not
so easy. Money is tight, and Zoe's only escape, as has always been the
case, is in her dreams--a world apart from her troubled real life where
she can spend time with her closest companion: her lost brother,
Valentine.
But something or someone has entered their dreamworld uninvited. And a
chance encounter at a used record store, where the vinyl holds not music
but lost souls, has opened up a portal to the world of the restless
dead. It's here that the shop's strange proprietor offers Zoe the chance
to commune with her dead father. The price? A lock of hair. Then a
tooth. Then . . .
