A gorg
eously modern gothic fantasy from the New York Times bestselling author of
TEN THOUSAND DOORS OF JANUARY. I dream sometimes about a house I've never
seen.... Opal is a lot of things&mdash\;orphan\, high school dropout\, fu
ll-time cynic and part-time cashier&mdash\;but above all\, she's a determi
ned to find a better life for her younger brother Jasper. One that gets th
em out of Eden\, Kentucky\, a town remarkable for only two things: bad luc
k and E. Starling\, the reclusive nineteenth century author of The Underla
nd \, who disappeared over a hundred years ago. All she left behind were d
ark rumors&mdash\;and her home. Everyone agrees that it's best to ignore t
he uncanny mansion and its misanthropic heir\, Arthur . Almost everyone\,
anyway. I should be scared\, but in the dream I don't hesitate. Opal has b
een obsessed with The Underland since she was a child. When she gets the c
hance to step inside Starling House&mdash\;and make some extra cash for he
r brother's escape fund&mdash\;she can't resist. But sinister forces are d
igging deeper into the buried secrets of Starling House\, and Arthur's own
nightmares have become far too real. As Eden itself seems to be drowning
in its own ghosts\, Opal realizes that she might finally have found a reas
on to stick around. In my dream\, I'm home. And now she'll have to fight.
