This novella is a bit more of a light sweeping than the in-depth book of poetry, but it was satisfying nonetheless. Holmes last year, I was ready to delve deeper into the mind and story of H.H. It brought back that feeling of being excited to see how the next picture will complement the storyline, and it certainly did not disappoint.įeeling like I was equipped with more information from having read Sara Tantlinger's The Devil's Dreamland: Poetry Inspired by H.H. The pictures in this book were much more intricate, beautiful, and memorable though.

It instantly reminded me of the fun and spooky books I used to get in the library as a kid that had cartoonish but haunting covers, with pictures included inside. “I greatly look forward to what Red Lagoe does next because as she’s shown us in Dismal Dreams, her craft only gains strength with each new project, and we’re really very lucky to have her writing voice in the horror world.Sara Tantlinger was kind enough to send me a signed copy of this beautiful hardcover novella that she and Matt Corley created. HaileyPiper, author of The Worm and His Kings “ DismalDreams is the kind of pulse-pounding book where every turned page riskswounding the reader, from paper cut to axe chop, and ultimately, heartache.” LaurelHightower, author of Crossroads and Whispers in the Dark “ DismalDreams showcases Red’s ability to imbue her characters with heart before sherips it from their chests and offers it, steaming and bloody, to her readers.” “Lagoe proves she’s not an up-and-comer or a promising new voice she’s a master ofthe short story and a gem waiting for you to discover it.” Horror can be empowering if we can survive our most dismal dreams.

Explore the darkness within a selfish heart, face death among ghosts, and roar into the snarling maw of the beast.

Lagoe offers a gamut of horrific experiences artfully woven into thirteen stories.

Or the sinister thoughts forged in the deepest abyss of a tortured mind.
