Dreamscape is a new invention, which allows users to program their dreams. Graycee Landon is a Middle School Librarian in Hill Valley, and she has just found out that she will be non-renewed after fourteen years of employment. That night Graycee selected Fantasy as her dream setting. Little did she know her principal, Dr. Abe McMikol, and her superintendent, Shelley Cohn, also programmed their Dreamscapes to give them a fantasy experience. That's when solar flares caused a week-long malfunctioning of the entire Dreamscape system. All three become trapped in their dreams and go from story to story, playing different roles of different characters in various fantasy settings from Narnia to Hogwarts. Graycee must stand up to villians in every tale, but she won't be doing it alone. A hero is there with her every step of the way.

A Collection of Dreamscapes by Christina Sng is an exploration of the darkness inside us, the shadow-self that screams and begs, forever fighting to claw itself out. It's a siren song of transformation, an uncovered diary that bleeds fairy tales and dystopias, and it reads like a grimoire full of spells and curses that bring monsters and madmen to life. Between these pages, readers will meet women who hide behind the taste of poisoned apples, who set themselves on fire, who weep at riverbanks, the taste of freedom too much to swallow, too heavy to bear. They will be whisked away to faraway lands and unimaginable worlds, the drip of fog-soaked dreams a steady flow down their throats while they choke on betrayal and bathe in the waters of tears twice cried. Sng's poems are a blend of dark fantasy and science fiction, a changeling's whisper and an ogre's cry. They are both subtle and violent, and they weave themes of empowerment and strength through stars and earthquakes, forcing us to push away the rubble and look at what we've had to do to survive. They are the sacrifice in the forest and the haunting in the house, every gasp and ancient fear a reflection of the violence we've had to bury deep inside ourselves, all those battle cries and reimagined dreams we desperately try to forget. Here, Sng marries blood and magic, forever walking hand-in-hand with scar and ash, their imprints both a nightmare and a blessing, a dream and the truth. Swallow them carefully. Once they're inside you, there's no getting them out.
