Sometimes the monsters at home are more terrifying than the ones from your childhood stories.

     Isolated in a desert town, Anita Lucero has grown up with nowhere to run and nobody to turn to when things got ugly at home. That is, until she started looking in places that shouldn't exist.
     Spurred into drastic action, she lands herself in an extraordinary new world described simply as "the Vale" by its residents. Finding herself surrounded by people and places both eerily familiar and breathtakingly alien,  Anita launches into an adventure of fantastic discovery and grim revelation that will lead her to freedom at a price she may not be willing to pay.

This is an original story still in the early stages of being written. While not explicit, it does involve mature themes such as domestic abuse, child abuse, and murder. Please read with caution if these are difficult topics for you. Also, as implied by the cover, here there be spiders.

"Last night, I had a dream the world ended. Half the population disappeared, and unfathomable eldritch beasts shambled out of an unending darkness." In a world with no sun and bloodthirsty creatures roaming the all consuming dark, the only places still safe are the small compounds that managed to get walls up before all came crashing down. Now, life is simple. Stay inside the walls, and you'll stay alive. It's not relatively easy anymore, though. With no one for company but each other, danger lurking only a few yards away from their homes, and half of their loved ones swept away in a mysterious event known only as 'The Vanishing', the morale of the populous is at an all time low. It's only getting worse for some, as their cities that are supposed to be providing for them are failing to do so. Survivors Wesly and Valentine aren't content with this, however, especially since Val's mother desperately needs life-saving medicine that the city just won't send. With no other options, the two journey outside the wall to study the monsters beyond, selling the information they find to the city in exchange for their support. While dangerous, they manage the task fine until one journey out they stumble across a disturbing, gruesome revelation that reveals not only more about the city, but the end of the world as a whole. As the duo begin to pull on the thread and tangle themselves slowly into its snare, they begin to realize there's a lot more to this apocalypse than they ever could have imagined, and that the horrific beasts they've been studying might be the least of their concerns...
