Murmured In Dreams: 3 (The Harvester Series)

With Murmured in Dreams Stephen Bacon takes us everywhere. Science fiction the supernatural the mythic and the horrific collide with both a future Britain and that of the not-so-distant past with the quiet breezes of a Greek island and with war-ravaged Rwanda and Chad. Priya SharmaStephen Bacon has a keen instinct for the horror of the ordinary his prose is considered his voice distinct. But what also distinguishes his fiction is the ability to startle readers; to instigate the re-reading of sentences to make certain that something that disturbing was actually intended. Bacon prods with pins. Adam Nevill author of The Ritual and Some Will Not SleepStephen Bacon is a born writer who cares deeply about story and the way it is delivered. This intoxicating collection - an object lesson in tension subtlety and power - is littered with broken beautiful characters operating within the uncertain margins of society and sanity. It is a book fully deserving of a wide audience. Conrad Williams author of One and I Will Surround You
