Armed with Gun, his bossy talking weapon, Dagon plans the final stage of his mission: to wipe out the plague of Meta, the virus that transforms teenage girls into killer Dolls -- Dead Girls. However, the virus has unleashed machine consciousness and Dagon himself is infected. He's a Dead Boy. Even so he can dream of a universe in which his Dead sister Primavera is once more fully human. Dreams are Dead Things." [jacket blurb, UK pbk, 1996]
