The Stuff of Nightmares  

Posted by DoctorDRG in

This is yet another book for the Wirral Paperback of the Year. This is an excellent read, for young adults and adults alike. Excellently written, the emotion is captured well, as well as the gripping storyline and thrilling plot. The plot is as follows. *SPOILERS* A young boy, Kyle is having problems at home. His mother has left him and his dad is under the thought that his mum will return. Kyle unsuspectingly takes a train with his school on a trip. This is a dreadful mistake and causes pain and frightening nightmares. The train crashes. As he wanders around, the only one conscious, he realises he can travel into the minds of his friends, and discover their greatest nightmares and secrets. These nightmares are well crafted short stories on their own, as so when you put them together you get an amazing mix of science fiction, horror and adventure.
These stories include quite strange and distressing scary theories if you like, which may scare younger readers. I recommend this for teenagers, who know how to respond to scenes presented within the pages of this book. This however is still one of the best stories out there, and also doubles as a great short story collection that adults as well as teens will thoroughly enjoy.
