Loneliness has stalked him for years, and he has never fully mastered the art of connecting with others.

When Horacio is forced to confront his dreams—and the beautiful, terrible creature at their center—the truth might just be more frightening than his reality has ever been.

Review: Horacio is a dreamer. He’s never really connected with any one person in his life, only having a sense of intimacy within his dreams. He doesn’t fully comprehend the gravity of these vivid dreams and even begins medicating in an attempt to stave them off. But the dreams never cease, they are always there, and as the story progress’ they get more detailed and the imaginary soon seems to be bleeding over into his reality.
This novella was written very philosophically. At times, I was completely dumbfounded and confused, but there was something about the dream that kept me reading. I admit I was intrigued by the confusion, which in itself is odd. When you learn the cause and effect of Horacio’s dreams, I think you’ll be surprised. And the dream never seems to come to fruition, which had me feeling Horacio’s frustration.
Thought provoking and requiring concentration. But it is a short read. Overall, it was okay, it did keep my attention, and even though there aren’t any knock your socks off sex, there is definitely heat and passion. If you’re looking for something quick and interesting, you could give this one a go.
