Publisher Description
Thousands of miles apart, a man and a woman dream of each other, unaware that they’re bound together by an otherworldly evil that will threaten everyone they love
Tamara Whelan and her sullen adolescent daughter have just arrived in the isolated Wyoming mining town of Iron Mountain. The financially strapped single mother has accepted a teaching job, replacing someone who died under suspicious circumstances. As Tamara struggles to adjust to life among superstitious neighbors in an unforgiving place, she’s plagued by horrifying night visions of a strange man and an unfamiliar beach that glistens in the moonlight. Unbeknownst to her, the man, Thad Alexander, is real. He lives in Belize and has been dreaming about her as well.
These two strangers find their lives increasingly intertwined as mysterious and menacing extraterrestrial technology allows them to read each other’s minds and become intimately familiar with each other’s worlds. Amid natural disasters and inexplicable vanishings, Thad and Tamara find themselves at the tumultuous center of a titanic battle between love and destruction, waged by forces beyond their control.
A novel that expands the boundaries of the paranormal, Nightmare Country tackles weighty issues of time, love, loss, and the impermanence of life.
Customer Reviews
Mystery, Science Fiction, Romance all in one
Have read the paperback at least three times, Nightmare Country remains one of my favorite stores. It is riveting and will keep you on the edge of your seat. Be aware that it might seem confusing at first as events are often repeated from different perspectives but once you get into it, you'll understand the necessity.
My only complaint and a minor one at that, was the constant reference to "palm trees" when there is no such thing. Palms are in the grass family and are not trees but it's a common error even if it was distracting to the otherwise great writing.
