Jesse Morrigan started seeing things at the age of five...

Terrible things.

Things that no-one else could see, including her distraught and anxious parents, who become desperate to get to the bottom of their daughter's disturbing behaviour and frequent night terrors.

Years later, as an adult, and temporary resident of the Padthorpe hospital psychiatric ward, she meets with Dr. Caroline September, whose job it is to navigate the dark twists and turns of Jesse's mind in search of answers.

But as Jesse's story unfolds, Caroline becomes slowly convinced that she may not actually be ill at all...

And then of course, there's Miss Punch...

Tears Before Bedtime is an intense cocktail of dark humour and paranormal adventure, written by Lucas Pencarrow for young adults aged 13 and over.
