Anxiety Dreams: My Little Book of Horrors

My Anxiety Dreams have always been very visceral and overwhelming. I can smell, touch, taste. Everything. And all of it is amplified through a lens of fear. I get regular dreams too, but my nightmares are consistent, sometimes repetitive, and there’s nearly always a story. I have been having them my whole life, but it was my sister who pointed out I may as well be the one to benefit from my own suffering, so here we are. And I say benefit, but what I really mean is I need to put these stories somewhere... So, in my home city of Manchester, UK, during the three consecutive lockdowns we endured to protect ourselves from the ravages of Covid 19, I decided to finally write them down. In this book are stories about apocalypses, body horror and Space Clams. Psychotic artists, malicious cutlery and more. Some of it will be (I hope) funny. Some of it will not. And some of it is quite horrible, actually. 'Anxiety Dreams: My Little Book of Horrors' became the catharsis I needed in such a raw and hurting world. It is an anthology of my nightmares, a collection of my anxieties and a confession of my fears, made in the hope that those who don't understand start to. And those who do, feel seen.
