NOTE TO READERS

The novel you are about to read was posted on Wattpad by a teen under the name "Bailey Simms" over a period of more than a year.

Interspersed within the novel's segments, updates describe events in the author's life from the winter of 2013 until the spring of 2015. At that point, the posts abruptly stop, and the account became inactive.

However, the original "Dead in Bed" has now been reproduced here in full, including Ms. Simms's author notes. None of the posts' original material has been altered.

The contents are disturbing.
