Dreamland

‘A gory, gothic masterpiece’ **– Alix E Harrow, author of Starling House

From No. 1 Sunday Times bestseller Olivie Blake comes Dreamland, a hauntingly seductive Gothic mystery where the glitz of Los Angeles collides with the dark shadows of the Hollywood elite.**

Fame makes monsters of us all . . .

Summer winds sweep a feverish energy through Los Angeles as girls are found murdered. Yet despite wildfire warnings and the rising body count, Anya Morris finds her mind elsewhere. Her Hollywood break fell through – and after losing out, she’s ready to risk it all.

Enter actor William de Witt, an aging icon offering a cryptic bargain: if Anya spends time with his son Jude, a man sequestered by mysterious health issues, William will grant her access to Hollywood’s inner circles. Yet within the de Witt estate, the air is heavy with old blood and unspoken secrets.

Drawn to Jude’s dark magnetism, Anya wonders if the house is cursed or if Jude is touched by the occult. How far will the elite go to secure their fame? And as the city burns, could Anya also sell her soul to achieve her dreams?
