Elsewhere (alternate version)
Don Zolidis
At a boarding school in New Hampshire, the former headmaster’s house sits empty, abandoned decades ago after his son disappeared inside and now thought haunted.
But when four students break in on a dare, they don’t finds ghosts or ghouls, but instead a doorway to another world: Elsewhere.
Elsewhere is a realm of pure imagination, overflowing with everything Sylvan, Ariel, Jenna, and Vi could ever want: magic, adventure, acceptance, purpose, a half-human, half-buffalo librarian.
But the longer they stay in Elsewhere, the more it seems there’s something not quite right with the fantasy utopia – and the less willing Elsewhere is to let them go back to their real lives.
To escape this dream world, the four friends must journey through their darkest nightmares.
