This is the second novel I have read by Krisch and they have both been impressive!

A great story. An unique topic, one Id never heard of before. Well written with no plot holes nor loose ends left at the end of the story. Highly recommended.

I read quite a bit and it's not easy to find a plot that's original. I thought the premise was unique and the characters drew me in. The main dream character was totally creepy! The very end surprised me a bit, which was nice too

Holy f. This book is wonderful. I obtained it as a part of LibraryThing early reviewers. I did not read the entire summary before reading the book-and I would recommend others do the same. It kept me guessing and I was never sure which way the plot was going to turn. The characters are vivid, and although they might seem unrelated in the beginning it all starts to make sense. The premise to me is fantastic- the idea that dreams can be removed from the dreamer's mind, and that they can be kept together in a museum for others to experience. I also appreciated the Chicago references, as I'm from the city as well. I'm going right on to read Where Darkness Dwells, and I don't expect I'll be disappointed. Must read!

What a premise! Imagine a guy who can pull your dreams(both good and bad) right out of your head. Then he can put them in a museum and you can watch them walk around. Pretty weird and kind of fascinating, right? But what happens when one of those walking nightmares doesn't want to be a dream anymore? Enter Mr. Freakshow. That's right, Mr. Freakshow. A big, bad, blue skinned Freak. (This story really strummed my Clive Barker nerve). How can a young boy on the cusp of manhood face down a monster like that? You have to read it to find out!
I would highly recommend this book to any fans of dark fiction or horror.
