Aggressive weaponized Drones patrol sectors of a restrictive realm where lives are easily taken, and books must secretly be guarded by a Resistance devoted to protecting original works from editorial or physical harm. A Dystopian Thriller, and part of Lori's Ghost Collection SPOOKTACULAR TALES, this Novelette provides a stark warning about turning our lives over to the Machines.

Can these unfortunate souls, who seem destined for each other, transcend the distance between their Lifetimes and the barriers between their Dimensions? Will a troubled young woman make the right choice, or is it already too late?A touching, bleak, thought-provoking vision of a Society out of control from the author of THE ROOM AT THE END OF THE HALL.
