von

What would happen if the boundaries between reality and dream were abolished suddenly? If we do not know what is real and what is not? Nevea Muller, 12 years old, has rich parents and lives in a suburb of Los Angeles. She is despised by her classmates in spite of, or even because of, her wealth. One evening, she receives a mysterious message, which is made up of the words „When are you coming?“ And before she knows, Nevea is in a strange place, in a cellar vault, which consists of many corridors and flors. It was not until the next morning that she realized that this was only a dream, but she did not remember the details. Since that night, her dream has come back, and the terrible extent of her hopeless situation becomes clearer from night to night. The images that she sees are getting terrible and dreadful from time to time. Can her classmate Joey and the strange girl Luna light up the darkness and help Nevea, which is drifting more and more into their own mysteriously creepy world?
THE EIGHTH CHILD – a gloomy novel from the genre of psycho-thriller, which tells the story of a girl who can no longer distinguish between dream and reality.
