About this ebook

Longlisted in the Exeter Novel Prize and the Flash 500 Novel competition.

Silent Dawn isn't real.
She's a terrifying computer game character who erodes players' sanities. Just because her legend dates back to the 1600s, doesn't mean she's real. Just because people are vanishing, doesn't mean she's real. Just because she's standing in the corner...
Reality is an illusion.
Drake Skelton, Ben Crewe and Keira Black are seventeen-year-old outcasts. Their obsession with Silent Dawn: Asylum seems normal, until game features creep into their town: missing persons' posters, defaced patient records, the mutilated Victorian patient who hanged herself in the woods.
Her madness infects you.
As more people play the game, the veil between her reality and theirs is torn down until they can no longer trust their own minds. But this is real life. Computer game characters don’t kidnap teenagers, or poison their minds with a siren song of suicide. Yet there’s something...the flash of her red dress from the corners of their eyes. The shadow that creeps across their walls at night. The sinister humming that warns them they’re not really alone...
She's coming.

C L Raven

C L Raven are identical twins and mistresses of the macabre from Cardiff. They’re horror writers, as ‘bringers of nightmares’ isn’t a recognised job title. They spend their time looking after their animal army and drinking more Red Bull than the recommended government guidelines. They write short stories, novels, and articles for Haunted Magazine and have been published in various anthologies and horror magazines. They’ve been longlisted in the Exeter Novel Prize twice, the Flash 500 Novel competition twice, and the Bath Novel Award. Soul Asylum was shortlisted in the 2012 National Self-Publishing Awards and Deadly Reflections was highly recommended in the 2014 awards. Several short stories have also been long and shortlisted in various competitions. They recently won third prize in the British Fantasy Society Award. In 2015, they were published in the Mammoth Book of Jack the Ripper, which makes their fascination with him seem less creepy. Along with their friend Neen, they prowl the country hunting for ghosts for their YouTube show, Calamityville Horror and can also be found urb exing in places they shouldn’t be. They also unleash their dark sides playing D&D/RPGs and gracefully fall off poles as they learn PoleFit.
