I grew up watching an infinite sequence of horror movies - initially promoted by my elder siblings who were trying to scare me.  Instead, it had the opposite effect and I now love horror movies and stories.  I think in part it has something to do with the fact that I have a really active imagination so I love anything different or exciting that stimulates my mind and imagination.Sandra Ross is known for her imagination and even though I sometimes find her actual writing a little bit weak (I am an editor so I can be overly critical about grammar and tense etc.), she still has an incredible way of telling a story that grasps the reader.  She describes her characters and scenes well and always makes you feel like you are a part of that scene and she also blends the world of fantasy with the world of reality, keeping things exciting and interesting.In this book,  a young college student, Elise, starts at a new college.  She is in a new city and has a new home and made new friends and is starting to settle in and is also working really hard at college.  It isn't long after she has been there that she starts to have horrific nightmares that seem to transcend into reality because she wakes up with pain, bruise, torn clothing, etc.  This is where I, an avid Freddy Kruger fan, get interested.  However, that is enough of the plot that I shall reveal.  I can promise you a wildly imaginative and perverted story though that will make you squirm!
