From the publisher

Maxwell Dark is on a mission to help kids hunt down and defeat the nightmares haunting them in this chilling horror graphic novel filled with monsters and mayhem. A NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR I’m Maxwell. Please don’t call me Max. I have a gift that I was born with, although most of the time it feels like a curse. That gift–or curse–allows twelve-year-old Maxwell to sense, experience, and enter other kids’ nightmares.
