About this ebook
Lori Blaine is not your average seventeen-year-old high school student. Cool and iconoclastic in her dread-locks and natty thrift shop garb, with an IQ that’s off the charts, she is the ersatz leader of a pack of Goth kids that circle around her in the halls of Valesburg Central like a school of pilot fish. Lori speaks softly, but when she does speak, people have a tendency to listen.
But Lori Blaine has one problem: The door.
Lori’s dreams are haunted by this strange, recurring symbol. The door is always there on the periphery… beckoning to her, daring her to see what might be waiting for her on the other side. Finally, at the urging of an overzealous school psychologist, Lori Blaine decides to face her fears. The next night, she goes through the dream door… and immediately plunges into a shattered looking glass world.
Welcome to the In-Between – a terrifying, surreal, topsy-turvy territory behind peoples’ dreams – where Lori Blaine becomes more than a mere tourist, she becomes a conduit between nightmares and reality. As the universe begins to unravel, and the entire space-time continuum crumbles, Lori Blaine unleashes a dark power beyond anything imagined by her melodramatic Goth pals.
But Lori has her own secret weapon – something buried deep in her past – that will not only change the course of her life, but will ultimately be the last slim hope for a waking world on a collision course with catastrophe.
