Darkness Blooms - The Dream and the Weaver

My author copies from the anthology Darkness Blooms, a collection of dark speculative fiction published by The Dread Machine, which examined themes about identity, security and community.

My story, The Dream and the Weaver, examined what would happen to society if - in the very far future - dreams were treated as nothing more than another media outlet. Sleep has to be paid for and our happy dreams, distorted memories and nightmares are bought and sold to entertain others.

"Determined to find her wife, Ayumi enters a dream world where she must confront her past trauma and grief with the help of Mashoka, a faulty Weaver."
