In 1845 the pioneers pushed across the American Mid-West. In the mountains, one group was overtaken by disaster, wiped out by avalanche - all except one girl, who found a door into another dimension. She found herself on the shores of Quiddity, the sea of dreams.

From the Back Cover:

Welcome to Everville...

On a mountain high above the city, a door stands open onto the shores of another world, and there's not a soul below who'll not be changed by that fact.

Phoebe Cobb is about to leave her old life as a doctor's receptionist and go looking for her lost lover in the dream-seas of that world...

Tesla Bombeck, who knows what horrors lurk on the other side of that door, must solve the mysteries of the city's past if she is to keep the horrors from crossing the threshold...

And Harry D'Amour, who has tracked the ultimate evil across America, will find it conjuring atrocities in the sunlit streets of Everville...

'One of modern fiction's premier metaphysicians'
Publisher's Weekly

'Clive Barker is so good that I am literally tongue-tied'
Stephen King
