Lock Me In

Shortlisted for the CWA Debut Dagger award

By day, Ellie Power has a normal life. She has a stable home, a loving boyfriend, a future.

But at night, she suffers from a sleep disorder. She becomes angry, unpredictable, violent. Her mother locks Ellie in her bedroom every night, to keep them both safe.

And her boyfriend Matt is nowhere to be found…
