Book Description

Kinslayer. Soul reaver. Sorcerer. Thief. And last emperor of a cruel, decadent race. Elric of Melniboné is all of these–and more. His life is sustained by drugs and magic–and energy sucked from the victims of his vampiric black sword, Stormbringer, a weapon feared by men and gods alike. Denied the oblivion he seeks, poised between a tragic past he cannot escape and a terrifying future he is doomed to bring about, Elric is a hero like no other. Del Rey is proud to present the fifth installment in its definitive collection featuring the immortal creation of Michael Moorcock, named Grand Master by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America. Highlights include an epic novel of Elric’s early years, The Fortress of the Pearl; the script of the graphic novel Elric: The Making of a Sorcerer; a previously unpublished proposal for a new series; and Hugo Award—winning author Neil Gaiman’s moving fictional tribute to Elric, the short story “One Life, Furnished in Early Moorcock.” Gorgeously illustrated by Michael Wm. Kaluta, Elric: In the Dream Realms is a dream come true for sword-and-sorcery fans.

Book Description

Three nights in a row, now; the same strange dreams. At least I thought they were at the time. Unnatural creatures in the woods, a spirit who lives in the lake and the really odd blending of dreams with reality. I think I'm losing my mind… * * * Living in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, AvaLynn has everything she thought she wanted. She owns a successful art gallery and lives in a lakeside house. Having lost her parents a few years before, AvaLynn considers her closest friends her family now. But everything changes when she starts seeing and hearing inexplicable things at the lake. She thought they were dreams, but physical evidence is mounting that proves they are real. She’s not sure who she can turn to. Will her friends believe her? And what about the mysterious and handsome Luke who just came into her life? Is he the source behind these strange occurrences? Or is he her savior? AvaLynn soon discovers that life in the Dream Realm is equally as complicated, if not more so, than the real world. The realm overlay becomes so natural as she seamlessly moves between the two, she begins to wonder which is actually real. Or is it possible they're both real?

Book Description

Life is going according to plan for young Jared Hernandez. School, friends, his first job, his first love. What lies beneath the usual drama is something beyond Jared’s wildest dreams, and he discovers a world where demons, vampires, werewolves, gods and goddesses blend into the everyday. Where magic becomes a reality. Where love is a force stronger than any other. Long before the birth of humanity, the Founding Magic was created. Chaos, order and time came together to form the supernatural, ushering a lavish age of myth where gods and goddesses reigned. With the human soul, however, came great power. To restore the delicate balance, the Distinction of Realms was enacted to mask magic from humanity. Jared must now walk that balance if he is to survive.

He controls dreams. Now the Dream King wants to claim me as his own. When everyone in the world fell asleep at exactly the same time and woke up a week later, the world believed it was the start of a rampant plague. They didn't know the half of it. Working in a sleep clinic is hardly the career of dreams, (pun intended) but when the world falls prey to a weird sleeping sickness, my job suddenly becomes ridiculously busy. Not that my asshole of a boss would think to give me the pay rise I deserve. In fact. My life can't get any worse. My bank account is empty, my ex is hooking up with his boss and watching old people sleep is seriously dull. That is until a lethally sexy freaking brute of a man appears in the sleep study and accidentally drags me into the dream world. A world that he owns and rules over. The dark and brooding jerk doesn't want me there, but I'm staying whether he likes it or not if there's a chance it will cure the sickness and my mother who has fallen prey to it. What I'm not expecting is the feelings he begins to ignite in me, just as the tables turn and I become his prisoner. Dream King is the first in the Night Realm series by a new pen name of a USAT bestselling author. This is an enemies to lovers wring-your-heart-out book for fans of Laura Thalassa, Jennifer L. Armentrout, Sarah J. Maas, and C.N. Crawford Scroll up and grab this before the Dream King takes you too.

Book Description

A diverse group of authors journey into the fringes of human consciousness, tackling psychic and paranormal phenomena, lucid dreaming, synchronistic encounters, and more. Collected from the online magazine Reality Sandwich, these essays explore regions of the mind often traversed by shamans, mystics, and visionary artists; adjacent and contiguous to our normal waking state, these realms may be encountered in dreams or out-of-body experiences, accessed through meditation or plant medicines, and marked by psychic phenomena and uncanny synchronicities. From demons encountered in sleep paralysis visions to psychic research conducted by the CIA, the seemingly disparate topics covered here congeal to form a larger picture of what these extraordinary states of consciousness might have to tell us about the nature of reality itself.
