Andrew Alewine's gruesome horror novels make Steven King look like a children's book author. Drawing upon his bloody childhood nightmares, Andrew used the graphic dreams as the inspiration for his books. His stories follow a malicious killer who remains two minutes ahead of the law, always escaping and vanishing into the twilight as if he were a murderous ghost. The grisly violence of the books has made Andrew a cult hero and a wildly successful author. He is living the good life and Hollywood is optioning one of his books to the big screen. His good life comes to a jarring end when the local Sheriff discovers that Andrew's novels perfectly match a string of brutal killings that stretch across the country from the Pacific Northwest to his very doorstep. Killings that began right after his childhood nightmares ended.
