One second, Daniel Calloway is driving a busy highway. The next, a white SUV tears across the center line, and his eight-year-old daughter is lying on the asphalt under a white sheet that's spreading red.
Months later, Daniel can't drive. He can barely breathe. Trapped in his house, rotting in his own filth and replaying home videos of Emily on an endless loop, he's a textbook case of PTSD and complicated grief-until the voices start.
When his estranged wife begs him to accept help, Daniel is admitted to a cutting-edge psychiatric program for severe trauma. The doctors talk about exposure therapy, dream journaling and alternative treatments. The other patients talk about something else:
The Dream Theater.
A place inside your nightmares where the dead are waiting for you.
If you're brave enough to go in.
As group members begin to vanish into specialized treatment and Daniel's dreams of Emily become disturbingly real-revealing things she shouldn't know-he starts to suspect the hospital isn't treating trauma; it's harvesting the traumatized. Guided by cryptic notes, a disgraced fear-therapy pioneer, and a little girl's voice that may or may not be his own mind breaking, Daniel must decide:
Will he let go of his daughter to save himself and his unborn child-
or follow the white sheet spreading red all the way into the dark?
Perfect for fans of The Haunting of Hill House, Shutter Island, and The Silent Patient,
The White Sheet Spreading Red is a genre-blending psychological horror / supernatural thriller about grief, guilt, and the dangerous places we'll go for one more chance to say goodbye.
