Nightmare's Edge

"If you want a full-tilt action story that careens down the mean streets of the DR and twists and turns violently while en route you've come to the right place. What can I say? I loved this book, particularly the lively characters, non-stop action, and educational aspects of it." Amazon

Nels Watson has been having nightmares for as long as he can remember—some so violent and real he wakes up sweat-soaked and trembling with fear. His problems escalate when he travels to the beachfront community of Costambar, on the north shore of the Dominican Republic.

He meets his long-time girlfriend Novelee and strange things start happening—his worst nightmares begin coming true. He dreams of his friends being stalked and killed and suddenly realizes he is being hunted by a ruthless killer.

Novelee's behavior becomes increasingly erratic and belongings go missing from his apartment. Who can he trust? Struggling through sleepless nights, a sleeping pill addiction, and an alcoholic haze, Nels recruits the help of his powerful and well-connected friend Juan and tries to navigate his way through his tumultuous romance and a series of deadly attacks by the killer.

Nightmare's Edge journeys deep into the seedy underbelly of local culture and exposes the need for money that at times is the underlying motivation behind Dominican friendliness. It strips away the idyllic veneer, revealing the dark and predatory nature of many of this country's people.

More praise for Nightmare's Edge:

"Absolutely love it. Blackwell is a born storyteller, and his depiction of life in the Dominican Republic is very intriguing. The way the story is told suggests there is truth hidden behind the fiction in this novel, and there are lessons to be learned. I was not aware life in a Caribbean paradise could turn into pure horror. This book is not only a very interesting and intriguing read it is also a real eye opener. I do recommend everyone to read it." Amazon

"Nightmare's Edge is a fast-paced novel that takes readers deep into the sub culture of the Dominican Republic. It is well-written, tightly plotted, exciting and interesting from start to finish. The characters are well drawn and believable and the shock ending is brilliant. William Blackwell is a talented author and I very much look forward to reading more of his work. I highly recommend this book." Amazon

"Nightmare's Edge takes the reader on a journey to a place most people have never imagined. The story creates a cultural awakening as we careen through the mean streets of the Dominican Republic, far from the widely publicized 5-star resorts and tourist centers. From the opening paragraph, one is caught up in the action and ushered full-throttle to the surprising conclusion. Chock-full of wit, passion and intrigue, this is an edge-of-your-seat, thrill ride that leaves you wanting more!" Amazon
