Author Stephen Turner writes a Fantasy/Horror novel, which - unbeknown to him - will inevitably become an international bestseller, but at what cost? Fern Gilles, about which his novel revolves, was once beautiful, but no longer. Her oval-shaped, hazel eyes were her most attractive features. Disfigured, however, as a result of a life-changing incident, her once cheerful personality changes drastically to a very sinister one. No one can stop her relentless, unremorseful wrath - even when her presence enters the supernatural realm. It's not long after the success of the book that Stephen's young, intelligent son, Neo starts complaining that there is a creepy one-eyed monster giving him nightmares. Can he kill the monster that haunts even its creator? How do you kill something that's already dead? And as Fern says, "Dead doesn't always mean the end."
