Dead Spots
By Rhiannon Frater
In the dead spots, dreams become reality, terror knows your name, and nightmares can kill you.
The stillbirth of Mackenzie's son destroyed her marriage. Grieving, Mac reluctantly heads for her childhood home to seek refuge with her mother, who constantly reminds her of life's dangers.
Driving across Texas, Mac swerves to avoid hitting a deer...and winds up in a dead spot, a frightening place that lies between the worlds of the living and the dead. If they can control their imaginations, people can literally bring their dreams to life—but most are beseiged by fears and nightmares which pursue them relentlessly.
Mackenzie's mother and husband haunt her, driving her to the brink of madness. Then she hears a child call for help and her maternal instincts kick into overdrive. Grant, Mac's ally in the dead spots, insists Johnny is a phantom, but the boy seems so real, so alive....
As the true horrors of the dead spots are slowly revealed, Mackenzie realizes that time is running out. But exits from the dead spots are nearly impossible to find, and defended by things almost beyond imagination.

- I love Day of the Dead sugar skulls. If the design is on a purse, shoes, dress, piece of jewelry, etc, chances are I’ll be reaching for my wallet.
- I love supernatural horror films as long as they don’t include demonic possession.
- My hair is currently turquoise and pink.
- My cat is named after Invader Zim.
- My favorite color is purple, but I wear mostly black.
- I’m a Whovian and the 10th Doctor is my favorite.
- Margaritas are definitely my drink of choice.
- I have lived in Texas all my life, but in different parts of the state.
- I never listen to the radio.
