It was only a matter of time before the nightmares came out to play.

The children are about to realize that not every dream is a good one. While Polly grapples with the monsters in the desert, Cole and the rest of the group are thrust into the world of the Nightmaring, where dark dreams reign supreme.

Those who enter the Nightmaring may make it out the other side, if they have the courage and the strength to battle back against the terror–but the nightmare creatures can cross the lines, too, and even if the children make it back to the topside of the Boundarylands, they might find that their bad dreams are only just beginning.

The search for Broken continues in Part IV of the series that readers are calling “fabulous, imaginative and magical!”

Maui was supposed to be a romantic trip for two. But when Grayson Park’s bride leaves him at the altar, a solo trip to paradise seems like just the thing to take him far from his troubles. Then he meets the beautiful and enigmatic Hi’iaka, and his troubles just begin—because when she’s abducted by the sinister Kamapua’a, a savage creature bent on draining her life by the light of the full moon, she calls on Grayson to rescue her. With his loyal, new-found Hawaiian friend Polunu as his steadfast guide, Grayson sets out on an incredible adventure that pits him against the very gods of Hawaiian mythology and leads him to the heart of Pele’s volcano, into the ocean to find the mythical Hook of Maui, and through the strange and brutal upcountry fleeing from demonic mo’o sent to destroy him. But there are only two nights left before the moon becomes full, and Grayson is running out of time to save Hi’iaka...and himself.

As their journey through the Boundarylands continues, Cole Slawson and his friends are beginning to discover the truth of the danger that lurks within the heart of imagination. The Royal’s power is growing ever stronger, and his desire to destroy the children increases every moment. But the travelers can’t focus on the dangers of the Pinch just yet—there are gods and monsters in the Boundary, and they’ll have to fight for their lives if they want to see their journey through to the dark heart of the land.

But when the group becomes separated in the spinning and infinite imaginary realm, they’re left weaker and more vulnerable than ever. Their enemies are circling, the Royal is reaching, and the children are realizing that they’re a part of something much bigger—and much more dangerous—than they ever could have imagined.

Things in the Boundarylands have gone from bad to worse.

Trapped in a room with no doors, and with the evil Dr. Mandrill and his nightmarish Tooth Fairy closing in, Cole and his friends are in the greatest danger of their lives. Without help, and without hope, the travelers are facing certain death in the Writer’s Bloc, while lightyears away, Polly is trapped in a cave by an army of gods and a seven-headed beast. It’s not looking good for the children, or for their IFs, who are slowly melting away into nothingness.

But a magical new visitor has felt the children’s cries, and the war of gods and monsters may be the key to reaching the Pinch and freeing Broken from the clutches of the evil Royal…

The “extraordinary, incredible, imaginative” adventure continues!

The oddest little town in the Midwest has a thousand demented stories to tell...some of them are horrifying enough to send shivers down the strongest of spines. There’s the tale of a man whose utter fear of germs sends him plummeting to the depths of depravity, and the victims he takes with him; the story of a couple escaping Missouri to fulfill their California dreams who take an innocent detour and find themselves trapped in the most unexpected of nightmares instead; the legend of a demonic creature who thrives on human flesh, which may be more reality than fiction. In this first collected volume of chill-inducing stories from everyone’s favorite transdimensional town, you’ll find reason enough to question your own sanity, even as you try to reassure yourself that things like this only happen in stories. Don’t they? Welcome to Anomaly Flats. How loud can you scream?

Welcome to the Boundarylands—a world as limitless as imagination itself.

Colemine and his friends have stepped into a strange, wonderful, and terrifying new world where dreams and nightmares hold sway. Broken is lost in this swirling world of constantly-shifting lands, and the only one who can pinpoint him is the Royal, the ruler of the realm who dwells in the Pinch, right in the heart of the kingdom. But the Royal is a growing malicious presence, and their journey to the Pinch won’t be an easy task—especially because every new region is another extraordinary challenge, and when it comes to the world of dreams and imagination, delight and danger lie in wait in equal measure. 

Then there’s the Royal himself, who has taken notice of the children, and with the help of a sadistic dentist and a cruel ruffian general, he’ll stop at nothing to destroy the real-worlders whose very existence threatens his control of the Boundarylands.

Ben Fogelvee isn’t having his best apocalypse. His madcap last-hurrah road trip from Chicago to Disney World ended in disaster; he lost his best friend, and he’s spent the three years since weighed down by ghosts and haunted by tragedy. 

He’s found a shred of purpose back on Horace’s train, riding the rails and teaching new Red Caps how to protect the dwindling freight. When the train is beset by bandits who steal a particularly precious piece of cargo, Ben heads out into the high desert of the Colorado-Utah borderlands on a post-apocalyptic mission to get back what he’s lost. He’s not alone, though...he has the memory of Patrick Deen to guide him at every turn—for better or for worse. With a desert full of snakes and cults and messengers and cliff-dwellers and all manner of after-doomsday weirdness ahead of him, plus a sinister blonde woman thundering dangerously along his trail, hunting him for reasons he can’t possibly fathom, Ben is going to need all the guidance he can get. 

But when he learns the real reason for the train robbery—and of the mysterious doctor who controls the bandits and performs gruesome experiments on M-Day survivors in his remote lab, protected by an army of dusters—well...this might be one adventure he can’t machete his way out of.

It’s a hilarious, harrowing, and heart-breaking sequel that confirms: the apocalypse is hard...but a world post-Apocalpyticon may be more than Ben can handle.

Clayton Smith's astounding debut novel that redefined the post-apocalyptic genre."This book is a hell of a lot of fun!" - Boing Boing "Clayton Smith has written a wacky novel about the end of the world...[he] can definitely write.

He’s going to Disney World. This hilarious, heartfelt, gut-wrenching odyssey through post-apocalyptic America is a pilgrimage peppered with peril, as fellow survivors Patrick and Ben encounter a slew of odd characters, from zombie politicians and deranged survivalists to a milky-eyed oracle who doesn't have a lot of good news.

Somewhere just off the interstate, in the heart of the American Midwest, there’s a quaint, quirky town where the stars in the sky circle a hypnotic void….where magnetic fields play havoc with time and perception…where metallic rain and plasma rivers and tentacles in the plumbing are simply part of the unsettling charm. Mallory Jenkins is about to experience the unique properties of this place for herself – she’ll have no choice, considering the collapsed bridge that rerouted her urgent and mysterious trip to Saskatchewan, forcing her straight into the heart of town, where her Impala has an inexplicable breakdown. She intends to stay overnight - just until the auto repair shop can make the fix in the morning and send her on her way. But Mallory will soon encounter Dr. Lewis Burnish, a scientist who’s studied the town for a dozen years and knows more about its strangeness than even the locals do. And when she accidentally-on-purpose creates his evil clone, she’ll set off a series of events that could unleash the ultimate evil upon the town and wreak havoc on the world at large.   Life in a small town is like that sometimes. Welcome to Anomaly Flats. Have some waffles, meet the folks, and enjoy the scenery…and if you happen to be in Walmart, whatever you do, don’t go down aisle 8. Don’t EVER go down aisle 8.
