The Black Trials

The Black Trials

Tara Benham
Dystopian, Teen + Young Adult

In a world where dreams are no longer private, sixteen-year-olds face their worst nightmares—literally. The government monitors every dream, and survival is the only ticket to adulthood. Jobs, marriage, and a semi-normal life await, but only if you endure The Trials. This year, it’s my turn. Each night, I plunge into a darkness that blurs the line between fear and reality. But surviving isn’t just about facing monsters—it’s about confronting truths I’m not ready to admit. As my nightmares grow more twisted, I begin to question if escaping them is even possible. The real terror? That I might not live to find out. Dive into The Black Trials and discover a dystopian world where fear is more than just a dream.
