Review Summaries

"What would happen if you woke up in the middle of the night just knowing that there was someone else in the room? And what if that someone else was not a someone at all, but the Tooth Fairy...crouching behind a chair in the corner, desperately clutching a baby canine? What would this mythic creature look like and what would it say to you? Maybe these questions are better left unanswered. Sam met the Tooth Fairy, and his life quickly became a bad dream. From the dead scout in the not-to-distant woods to Alice, his love interest, to the aometimes beastly, sometimes intriguing creature who visits him at night. The Tooth Fairy is both his dream and his nightmare, but as he is finding out, he may be the nightmare."
