One Thousand Dreams of Shoelace

An eerie and moving follow-up to The Last Life of Lori Mills. Lori is home alone for the first time, yet she cannot shake a strange sensation and soon she pieces together the truth: the mysterious Starlit King has trapped her and her best friend Shoelace inside a stormy November evening.
