"Sleep is dying, and has been for a long time now, through uncounted ticks of clocks and the flickers of thousands of too-brief candles."

It's the night of the Senior Prom, and rather than show up awkwardly, Cassie has decided to stay home with the Dark Tome. But, she soon meets a mysterious stranger with an invitation to a masquerade ball wicked and mysterious, far stranger than any rites of spring. What she learns there will reshape her thoughts on dance, if she can ever make it back.

Be dazzled in this adaptation of Kat Howard's short story "Murdered Sleep," which originally appeared in Apex Magazine.

Undertow: Dark Tome is a Realm production. Listen Away.
