Hero of Dreams, Dreamlands

First in the Lovecraftian series featuring David Hero from the Grand Master of Horror and British Fantasy Award–winning author of the Necroscope novels.

Something vital is missing from David Hero’s comfortable, ordinary existence. One day is much like the next, simple, predictable . . . boring.

But the nights! Each night David Hero finds himself transported to a marvelous world where brave men and women battle terrible creatures possessed of cruel, dark powers.

Despite his fears, the Dreamworlds tempt David, drawing him farther and farther from the waking world. Here he finds noble warriors; beautiful, loving women; and challenges almost greater than he can imagine.
