oneiric
adjective · /əʊˈnʌɪrɪk/From the Greek oneiros — dream.
Fiction that moves the way dreaming does: the familiar turns strange without warning, feeling takes on shapes you can walk through, and the rules of the waking world quietly stop applying.
Undying Dreams is a series of oneiric fantasy — stories born from the author’s own dreams and written in their logic. Each book begins with a single dream and follows it as far as it will go.
Two volumes, so far. Read across.

Cataclysm
“Every sky is just a sky — until it isn’t”
Priam and the woman he loves are out on the water on a perfect July afternoon when something falls from a clear blue sky. What follows is a headlong drive toward a hospital that never seems to get any closer, and a slow certainty that the rules of the world have quietly stopped applying.
Breach
“Every gleam is just a gleam — until it blinks”
A salvage man and the two he trusts range two hundred miles out, into a settlement dead four generations. One house on that street is still standing, and he cannot say why he tells them to stop the car. What he takes out from under that floor costs them the daylight and the road home.
cryptanalyze
verb · /krɪpˈtænəlaɪz/From the Greek kryptos and lyein — to loosen what is hidden.
To read what was hidden without being handed the key: not decoding by rule but reasoning your way in, turning the thing over until it gives up its sense.
Unrelenting Pursuit puts a story where the answer key should be. Each book lets you take the dream apart, one puzzle at a time, and hopefully come to the same conclusion as the author.
One in print.

Breach: The Activity Book
Seventy-five puzzles · fifteen kinds · worked examples
Built on the second of the Undying Dreams, and made the same way: solve your way forward, and a full novella waits at the back for whoever gets there.
