The Dreamer (Or, The Purple Book)

dincosic
Look, I know we're all tired of stories where "it was just a dream, and none of it actually mattered." This isn't one of them. I promise. So what is The Dreamer about? Burdened by family expectations and chronic insomnia, seventeen-year-old Salvador finally falls asleep and wakes up trapped in a dreamworld that won't let him leave. Stuck in a reality that shifts like a surrealist painting, he's hunted by Hatman, the shadow king. To escape, Salvador must journey through his own mind, from impossible mind-bending places (literally) to the black hole at the darkest depths of it all called the Void where the shadows live, and face the thing he fears most. What's worse than being trapped in your own head? Realizing the only way out is through. Genre: YA Psychological Fantasy / Surreal Portal Fantasy Status: Complete (118k words / 7 chapters) Warning: Contains ergodic elements. Reality optional. Sanity not guaranteed.
