A small read with big thrills
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This is the first book by science fiction/fantasy/horror writer Kim Newman and, might I add, one of his best. Truro Daine, a dangerous criminal who has been confined to imprisonment manages to escape his incarceration by inventing a dream world that's computer-generated and where he is the Night Mayor, ruler of this dark city, plotting to take over the entire world. The only hope existing are two professional dreamers who enter into Daine's world to try and stop him. This is a pulse-racing piece of entertainment that springs surprises around every corner and leaves you desperate to keep reading. Newman humorously (but convincingly) mixes film noir and character actors with his own creations to make this an unconventional, quirky and highly fascinating read. I finished it in a single day, it amused me so.
