The Stephen King of Manitoba - Western Report MagazineSeven-year-old Krissie Carver is haunted each night by terrifying dreams where she is pursued by horrific, misshapen entities. The girl lives in constant fear and panic-until she meets Adamm. He appears as a comforting presence, a beautiful, angelic-type being who tells her wondrous things and protects her from the hideous dream demons who want to claim her. Adamm explains to Krissie that she possesses a great gift, a mysterious power called the ability that he will teach her to use. A power that Adamm promises will benefit them both. In her waking hours, Krissie experiments with her ability-with tragic and shocking results. Who is Adamm?
