It Began with a Dream

Goren would be perfectly satisfied living life off his father’s savings, content with no real aims or goals. However, it seems that life has other plans for him when, one night, he dreams of committing a grotesque murder as a blue-grey monster. His fractured brain puts him in denial. Then a friend tells him some horrible news: there’s been a murder. It’s a horrifying scene that’s put the city on edge. When Goren immediately starts recognizing the details, he jumps into panic mode. What happened to that monster? And what about that dream?(TW: gun violence, some censored swearing, this is a horror book)“Overall, I really enjoyed this book. I liked how [Dorian] incorporated a comedic style into it, more so than before. Personally, I like reading things that are written how I would speak/think/respond and [Dorian] did that a lot here.” -Kayla, early reader
