Bad Dreams by Kim Newman
Jul. 20th, 2006 01:23 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
In the dark before dawn, between dreams and death, enter a nightmare zone.
For Anne Nielson, London is fast turning from dream city to nightmare. Almost unawares she is sucked into an underworld hell-hole of suburban sleaze merchants, degenerate drug dealers and sadistic 'entertainments' held by chic decadents with prestigious addresses.
But this is nothing compared with meeting the monster, who festers at the centre of his own twisted, but highly lucid, dream. He is the immortal life-taker, the creator, the destroyer, the manipulator of all that Anne experiences.
He is death cooled down below freezing ...
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
As horror novels go, this at least has a story to it. It reads well (except for the final section, which I think borders on the pretentious) and has some very nasty moments.
