On March 28, 1979, a murder took place at 469 Pine Top Trail, and the Unit 2 reactor overheated at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant. These two events formed the core of a slow-motion apocalypse in the life of a boy in a place where something terrible is always about to happen, or already has.

This is the true story of a kid trying to survive trouble of biblical proportions, of searching for hope and a future, by any means necessary.

Dream Monster is a tale of nuclear meltdowns, catastrophic visions, sinking fortunes, kickball kingdoms, outlaw biker gangs, domestic terror, schoolyard fistfights and cold-blooded killings.

It’s a story of following the truth wherever it leads, starting at ground zero with a contaminated murder scene and widening into circles of perfidy and malice. In this world between waking and sleeping, sanity and madness, life and death where Dream Monster holds sway over all, can anything good survive?
