Product Review

It€s called dark matter, a living substance secreted by a meteorite that can make people invisible. Sixteen-year-old Leona Hewitt has been wearing it for twelve hours. It should be every teen€s fantasy€"unbeatable pranks, a front row seat in her crush€s bedroom, a place to lick her wounds all alone. And it is . . . it is.

Until she can€t get it off.

In an instant, the fantasy becomes a nightmare. She€s stuck like this, invisible. Scratching at it, burning it off, cutting her skin off with a knife€"nothing works. Dark matter is eating her, consuming her body like a bacteriophage and leaving behind a ghost.

But when she wakes up in her bedroom, seemingly back to normal€"only to find the city outside abandoned and ghostly quiet, she realizes she€s been transported to an impossible parallel realm. Electronics barely function, food turns mealy and rotten, fire snuffs out in seconds . . . and the only signs of life are the clues to a strange riddle left behind by a dead girl.
