"This collection will make you appreciate all you hold dear, because it is more fragile than you know." -Matt Tighe, multi-award-winning author

Are nightmares real - or are they dreams in disguise? ​​​​​​​ The Dreams That Shape Us and Other Stories is a collection of dark speculative fiction and poetry exploring life, death, and the places in between. Ghosts who don't know they're dead, a vampire coming of age, a tree who wants to live a different life, and people - or other things - who yearn for more than they have, unaware life often falls short in its delivery.

Within these pages, you'll find a mixture of humour, heartbreak, and horror - stories that reach deep into your soul and beg the question: what if, by some cosmic error, this happened to me?
