009: Brad Kelly's "House of Sleep"
Listen now
Description
This is my first review of 2022, and it's a doozy! After taking some time away from the podcast, I decided I would kick off the new year with an independent author I have had the privilege of engaging with on Twitter. House of Sleep is an intriguing work that heavily leans into the power and drawbacks of dreams, and the havoc that arises when we learn of our ability to penetrate another's sleeping state. I highly recommend this work. You can find Brad Kelly on Twitter @BradKelly.  He will even read your tarot cards! If you are interested in what else he is doing, you can visit his site at www.bradkellyesque.com. Book blurb: “At an exquisite mansion perched on an edenic plateau, twenty-some guests are remembering their dreams as clearly as yesterday. All that’s required is to let an eccentric guru called the Diving Man work their subconscious like a snake-charmer. Parts Willy Wonka, Judge Holden, and Tim Leary, he seems to know what can’t be known, professes a bizarre philosophy, and spends his days leaping from the cliffs to hold his breath for minutes on end in the churning river below. He is also plotting against the dissolution of the world. The House draws Lynn, an anxious, earnest therapist who foresaw her fiancé’s death in a dream. . .or, just maybe, called it into being. This is her last chance to heal, but only if she can come to terms with her dark connection to another seeker—the young logophile Daniel, who is afflicted with a strange disease inextricable from an even stranger gift.” If you enjoy the podcast and wish to help out, consider supporting me through the following links.
