By Matt Banach
Dream:
a surreal realm where delusions roam free and nightmares hold court.
A man called Rube is on a perilous quest, searching this unhinged land for something more precious than life or sanity—his own lost child. Captive on a black ship crewed by the dreaded Men of Leng, he finds himself crossing the Slumbering Sea in chains, brought face-to-face with a mischievous blue monster who might just be his salvation – or his doom. Struggling to reunite father and daughter, their odyssey past the edge of reality reveals ancient evils, fiendish plots, and a trans-planar scheme which threatens the very foundation of Dream.
Bursting forth from Rite Publishing's epic Coliseum Morpheuon and the high-octane Faces of the Tarnished Souk, Matt Banach's debut novel blends the wonder of Lewis Carroll and the mythos of H.P. Lovecraft to produce a wicked and witty fantasy adventure with a bittersweet heart, testament to the enduring power of a parent's love.

"It has the feel of Dante's Inferno—a travelogue with a guide through the dreamworlds, rather than Hell. I related to the father's quest for his daughter's safety and enjoyed it as much as it terrified him." —Steven Schend (author of the Forgotten Realms novels Blackstaff and Blackstaff Tower)
