    About this ebook

    Dreams may be pleasant or some times a little disturbing. Nightmares are all too different. For the dreamer the best thing about a nightmare is waking up. For the narrator however this was not actually the case.

    Author

    Tom Morris

    Started reading SF and Fantasy in the 1950's (yes I am that old), Galaxy and Astounding magazines mainly. Have been a fan ever since. Horror as well - especially Lovecraft and Derleth. All time favourite author is the great Jack Vance, but recently have found Neal Asher - fantastic! I was fascinated by chemistry from an early age and managed a B.Sc and Ph.D.and hence a lomg time interest in alchemy. Have fooled around with writing short stories for a long time, but couldn't be bothered to submit them. Found Smashwords and decided to take the plunge. It's rewarding to see that people are downloading my stories and adding them to their libraries. Hope that they find them enjoyable. I use to play GuildWars a lot - hence the picture - that's my character, a necromancer of course! Visit my web page to see more details of my books and some useful links:

      How blessed are some people, whose lives have no fears, no dreads, to whom sleep is a blessing that comes nightly, and brings nothing but sweet dreams.

      Bram Stoker, Dracula, 1897.

      I dreamed of the city again last night. I dream of it almost every night. The same city, but always slightly different. Eerie and uncanny. Its buildings somehow familiar but yet mysterious and frightening. Drab grey stone and sombre brown woodwork. Tall, gaunt, crowding out the sky, threatening. Sometimes it is daytime, but always overcast, dark and gloomy. Night time is worse, the shadows press close and the dim light from the windows
