The Dreams That Shape Us and Other Stories
ByPublisher Description
"This collection will make you appreciate all you hold dear, because it is more fragile than you know."
—Matt Tighe, multi-award-winning author
Are nightmares real – or are they dreams in disguise?
The Dreams That Shape Us and Other Stories is a collection of dark speculative fiction and poetry exploring life, death, and the places in between. Ghosts who don't know they're dead, a vampire coming of age, a tree who wants to live a different life, and people – or other things – who yearn for more than they have, unaware life often falls short in its delivery.
Within these pages, you'll find a mixture of humour, heartbreak, and horror – stories that reach deep into your soul and beg the question: what if, by some cosmic error, this happened to me?
