'There are Crooked Things, Dark Things, then there's us.' Alice Leighgood is a Crooked Thing. Not evil, or good, but Crooked. At night she transforms into a twisted creature and eats the nightmares of those in her small town of Herring, Oregon. She's also the most popular girl at Westmen High. It's a dark secret, one she keeps from everyone, especially her new handsome English tutor, Kieran Baxter. But he has his own dark secret, one that could prove fatal for their quickly growing forbidden love, and for Alice herself. But there is another danger haunting the shadows of the woods surrounding Herring. Dark Things are crawling from the woods at night, inspiring more nightmares for Alice. But as she grows more powerful, she quickly realises whatever is giving her more power may be coming for her next...
