Dreams 4 Sale

Award-winning author Cliff Bumgardner breaks new ground in this debut novella about a young boy's innocent purchase which threatens to change his world forever. Max Miller is an eight-year-old boy who'd rather be anywhere than a yard sale on Saturday morning, but that's precisely where he finds himself – as well as the mysterious girl with long black hair and a table of objects she calls dreams. Fascinated and overwhelmed by her presence, Max chooses one: A black pyramid the girl warns him not to take. It's a bad dream, she says, the kind you can't wake up from no matter how hard you try, but Max is too caught up to listen. When it's too late to matter, he wishes he'd taken heed. For when Max opens the pyramid, he invites an insidious darkness into his world and starts a chain of tragic events more terrifying than any nightmare. To stop it, Max will have to fight back against a girl whose powers extend beyond the bounds of reality and come to terms with the horrible truth hidden in her cryptic words... ...Because there's no pulling yourself from a dream if you're already awake.
