Best selling supernatural fiction author RICHARD KADREY'S new book, his first for a young adult audience, is DEAD SET.

After her father’s funeral, Zoe moved to the big city with her mother to start over. But change always brings trials, and life in the city is not so easy. Money is tight, and Zoe’s only escape is in her dreams—a world apart from her troubled real life where can spend time with her closest companion: her lost brother, Valentine.

But something or someone has entered their dreamworld uninvited.
