Editorial Reviews

Review

2Thumbing through these snippets is like eating Doritos. Before you realize it you've finished the whole bag and are hungry for more! -- Rick Veitch, author of RARE BIT FIENDS

An honest-to-goodness nocturnal trip through someone else's head! -- Neil Gaiman, author of SANDMAN

Chris Romano does for Freud what classic comics do for Shakespeare...It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it. -- Dave Hickey, author of AIR GUITAR and THE INVISIBLE DRAGON

Chris Romano's surrealist/realist/honest/weird/sexy/horrific dreams range from Wild to Wilder to Wildest--so Dream On, Chris, Dream On! -- Janice Eidus, author of VITO LOVES GERALDINE, THE CELIBACY CLUB

I'm no psychiatrist, but I'd say [Chris is] in serious need of some 'help' and with that in mind, I'm surprised [he's] not fighting off the major publishers! -- Daniel Clowes, author of EIGHTBALL

If this book doesn't tickle your id, nothing will. -- Amy Gerstler, author of MEDICINE, BITTER ANGEL, and NERVE STORM

It has an eyecatching design and is quite entertaining. HAIL SATAN! -- Anton Szandor La Vey, The Black Pope

Romano has a gift for capturing telling oneiric details and he writes real good too. This is high-grade-stuff-of-this-sort. -- Jim Woodring, author of JIM, FRANK


Product Description

It's called DECEMBER 22, and it's all true.

Imagine, if you can, over 200 pages of pure, unbridled out-pourings. Shameless, in every sense of the word.

Read with complete impunity, and discover what gave birth to the cartoon DREAMBOY! These pages, culled together and carefully crafted, are the beginning of a spectacular moment. A brilliant period, in fact, heralding in a new age of selfless exploitation and deprecation. Saturated with telling facts and neuroses, everything you can possibly know about a complete stranger is cryptically presented. You'll swear the pages feel damp.

DECEMBER 22 documents one year's worth--the first of many, in fact--of one fetish-heavy boy's startling dreams. Rubber underwear recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Honest as a straight razor, May 18, 1998
By A Customer
Each entry harbors a desire, a need, an obsession which the weak should turn away from. Romano's Dec 22 is a trigger for bitter and pleasurable memories, both acutely American and fantastically personal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Short Attention-Span Neurosis, July 19, 2000
By Brian Doom (Berkeley, CA) - See all my reviews
It's a peek into Romano's subconscious. The entries are short and sweet and defy analysis. Some of them don't have a beginning. Keeping track of the real-world analogues to Romano's dream-characters is like watching a soap opera in twenty second snippets. People come and go in a chaotic storm, puppets of Romano's unconscious... and since this is a genuine collection of the author's dreams one can't help but wonder what his friends thought of the dreams they were in.

4.0 out of 5 stars GOOD BATHROOM READING, February 11, 2000
Normally, there's nothing more boring than someone trying to describe to you a particularly vivid dream they had last night. Chris Romano, however, has managed to record a year's worth of dreams in good form. The entries are engaging, often funny, and he has a crisp delivery that makes this book an enjoyable read. They're short too, making it ideal bathroom reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wacked out and wonderful.
December 22 takes a look inside a mind that at times is hilarious and at times disturbing. Either way, the journey through Mr. Romanos' psyche is compelling throughout.
Published 6 months ago by B. Melworm

Although not one picture was found in this book; I could gather some visuals of my own.
