Within these pages is one nightmarish scenario after another. Horrifying situations that may go on forever, that don't seem to end. There may be a relief, a revelation, a that helps the characters in each story... but that just might be only temporary. A woman with a ghost tethered to her is navigating her world as best she can with such a strange devotee. A tiny werewolf baby is found in the streets and is taken to a home for orphans who are just like her, to hopefully find parents who understand what she truly is. A man creates breathtaking paintings with acrylic on large canvases, at the shocking expense of his adoring models. Science can take us into the mind of a cosmonaut to find out what he saw on the Moon... but should we really have and be using this bio-technological knowledge? Nightmares such as these can cause unrest, constant sleeplessness, jitters, and the feelings of unease and fear while you think you're safe beneath the covers. Our own homes become alien to us; our bedrooms no longer sanctuaries of calm. No, these nightmares will cycle on to where you'll remember them long after you've closed the book and placed it on the shelf. Perhaps you will also become part of the cycle... "A sense of underlying unease, or something sinister lurking beneath the surface of what should be simple, permeates each tale... Reading The Nightmare Cycle is being trapped in a movie where you know the killer's on the loose, but you can't hide any more than the protagonists can." Eli Gregory, peer review
