Why read it?

2 authors picked A Prisoner of Dreamland as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

A Prisoner of Dreamland is truly a perfect title for this book because it makes you feel as if you are in a world that is slightly off kilter. Each story is different yet they are linked together by not just the style of writing but the unsettling feelings they invoke. I've read a lot of horror and weird fiction, but this one is unique - in a good way!

This collection of short stories totally captivated me. Boatman's style of writing is unique but never confusing. Every story captures you right from the beginning and takes you to a wildly imaginative place.
