Was it A Dream: The Dream That Never Ends!

Carlotta Eve Felder presents a psychological horror narrative centered on Alison, a sleep therapist who accepts a position at a converted hospital in Elloree, South Carolina. The facility treats insomnia patients but enforces a strict prohibition against entering Room 13. Alison violates this rule by peeking inside, which triggers a descent into night terrors and migraines as she begins to share dreams with Kelly, a girl who died in that room after years of trauma and isolation. The story intertwines Alison’s deteriorating mental state with the backstory of Kelly, whose twin brother was convicted of murdering their roommates. The narrative explores whether the conviction was just or if Kelly suffered from nightmares of disappearing friends and family before her death. As the pull toward the forbidden space intensifies, Alison struggles to resist returning to the site where her nightmare began. This work draws on gothic traditions of haunted institutions and supernatural fiction involving restless spirits. It suits readers interested in character-driven psychological terror and stories about the lingering effects of past trauma. Those seeking fast-paced action or traditional jump scares may find the focus on internal dread less appealing. The book remains grounded in the specific dynamics between Alison, Kelly, and the history of Room 13.
