No Longer Dreams: An Anthology of Horror, Fantasy, and Science Fiction [Paperback]

Danielle Ackley-McPhail (Editor), L. Jagi Lamplighter (Editor), Lee Hillman (Editor)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 2005

Only in the presence of light is the depth of the shadows revealed. In this anthology, both extremes are intimately explored. From the macabre to the wonderous, No Longer Dreams offers rich fare from both established writers in the field and talents newly discovered. Learn what it is to become more than you were destined to be in John C. Wright's The Kindred. Explore the mind-boggling concept of a Jewish vampiress in Darrell Schweitzer's Kvetchula. Discover that monsters can appear quite normal in both James Chamber's Law of the Kuzzi and Tee Morris's Reality Check. Feel the chill invade your blood as you come to suspect the truth of Mike McPhail's sci-fi thriller, Chimera. Across new worlds and old, we find humanity and horrors both in the most unsuspected places, each masterfully portrayed in this wonderful new collection.

This review is from: No Longer Dreams: An Anthology of Horror, Fantasy, and Science Fiction (Paperback)

Authors John C. Wright, Darrell Schweitzer, CJ Henderson, Will McDermott, Tee Morris, Tony Ruggerio, Danielle Ackley-McPhail, L. Jagi Lamplighter, Jeff Lyman, Dan Foley, Mike McPhail, Patti Kinlock, and many more, invite science fiction, horror, and fantasy fans beneath the surface of imagination, into dreams, visions, and nightmares transformed into vivid reality in "No Longer Dreams" a new anthology available from Lite Circle books.

The black and white art work of Theo Black, Ruth Lampi, Erica Henderson, and Edward J. Reed, stir images to life; the words pull you beneath the surface and onto the streets of the French Quarter, be careful who you offend here, on a tour through the mountains of Transylvania; visit the lair of the master of all vampires, but kevetch at your own risk. If you book a ski trip in the Pocono Mountains, better check your reservations twice. Fight battles among the stars, with demons, for souls, with yourself, careful of the mirrors and poppets. Drift through time, and dimensions.

Dark to light, spine shiver to laughter, "No Longer Dreams" is a thrill ride with a team of talented authors who pull you from the comfort of your reading chair into imagination and possibilities. Filled with adventures, thrills, and chills that will delight any reader and crafted with skill and such vivid imagery you'll be pulled, tugged, yanked right into the breathless alternate dimensions and worlds, battles and times and stories to experience them with three, or is that five, dimensional characters and demons and monsters that will live on in your mind, imagination, dreams and nightmares long after you close the book.
