The Dust of Wonderland
ByPublisher Description
A panicked call from his ex-wife summons Ken Nicholson back to New Orleans, where his son has been attacked and left for dead. While his child's life hangs in the balance, Ken endures visions connected to a terrifying time from his past. As a teenager, he witnessed the brutal deaths of several young men, an act orchestrated by his benefactor, Travis Brugier. Following the shocking spectacle, Brugier kills himself before Ken's eyes. Now, decades later, someone wants Ken to remember, wants Ken to return to those violent days.
With the lives of his estranged family and his lover, David, threatened, Ken has no choice but to follow his nightmares back to their origin. There he will battle a corrupt and powerful being that believes every life is a story to be captured and rewritten, a being that doesn't believe in happy endings.
Welcome back to Wonderland.
"Eloquent writing, wholly dimensional characters and spooky atmospherics power this compelling combo of chilling horror story and ultimately satisfying love story."
— Richard Labonté, The New York Blade
"Offers further promise that Thomas could emerge as a leading voice in modern horror fiction."
— Publishers Weekly
