Mackenzie Babin's life was perfect until a tragedy
destroyed it, leaving her with the loss of both her
marriage and the expected happy family. Distraught and
with nowhere left to turn, Mackenzie reluctantly starts
the journey back to her mother's home. Unfortunately, she
finds a dead spot, a doorway to the world where
nightmares and fears reign supreme. Trapped, Mackenzie
has to learn to adapt and survive in a world where
nothing is as it seems. Will Mackenzie find a way home or
will she remain trapped forever in the horrific DEAD
SPOTS?
Rhiannon Frater blew me away with DEAD SPOTS! Just when I
thought I had everything figured out, BAM! She throws
another twist into her dark and scary world. Rhiannon
Frater truly captures the stuff that nightmares are made
of in DEAD SPOTS. Whether it's the paranormal or the all-
too-real loss of a loved one, DEAD SPOTS takes those
fears and crafts them into a world I hope I never visit
in my dreams - and I certainly won't be visiting any
abandoned buildings after reading it!
Mackenzie is a phenomenal heroine and I love her loyalty
and kindness, even when her own grief and fears seem so
overwhelming. Rhiannon Frater does a marvelous job at
portraying a mother's grief as well as society's own
discomfort with that grief. However, it is the moment
when Mackenzie realizes she has already faced the worst
thing possible - her son's stillbirth and the subsequent
loss of her marriage - that made me want to get up and
cheer for this character with so much inner strength!
DEAD SPOTS is horror at its finest! We have zombies,
clowns, ghosts, and even sharks to terrify you. Rhiannon
Frater does a marvelous job at creating multifaceted
characters, a complex world, and a plot that makes you
question every single aspect of what the characters see
or do. I can't rave enough about DEAD SPOTS, even as I
look forward to exploring the other worlds of Rhiannon
Frater in the future. DEAD SPOTS is simply brilliant!
New horror from Rhiannon Frater: in the dead spots,
dreams become reality, terror knows your name, and
nightmares can kill
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
besieged 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.
