Dreams and nightmares often give us glimpses into our true character; they can reveal our deepest anxieties and our most ambitious
aspirations. Weird fiction has a rich history with dreamlike stories and nightmares that cross boundaries between the real and imaginary. Even
H. P. Lovecraft endured many bizarre dreams from the early days of his
youth that he then used as inspiration for some of his fiction and
poetry. Now world-renowned weird fiction scholar and editor S. T. Joshi
has assembled a new set of nightmares from some of the strongest minds
in weird fiction today.
