A nearly universal experience of childhood is facing a fear of the dark-of the unknown in the night. Many overcome this fear in adulthood. Many do not, or can not. This book is dedicated to the children currently fighting the monsters underneath the bed, and to the adults who falter at weighing the benefits of facing their fears-whether sensical or unsensical-to the disadvantages. Anya is a young girl who comes face to face with a place that reveals nothing at first glance. She takes a hesitant step forward, then two, and discovers another world that has been eagerly awaiting her in the dark, underneath an amusement park.
