Dread. That was what Adrian felt. His family had moved five times in the last two years. He got bullied at his new school and even his teachers picked on him. He felt life wasn't all that fair. But that was before he found Dreadland. Before he discovered those posters about the missing kids. Before he got lost in the curtain of red mist... Poor Adrian. He should never have gone up the hill in Dreadland. Because now he'd met a girl he shouldn't have met. She was so pale... She was so beautiful in an alluring way... Just another urban legend, right?
