Dreaming of Man

After receiving a letter telling him with terrible news, Doctor Lawrence Cooper visits the small harbor-town Osmund in search of answers. Though something is clearly wrong there, Lawrence keeps finding reasons to stay: the sake of a young girl he meets, and to get to the bottom of his one-time lover's suspicious death.

And the longer he stays, the more Lawrence is drawn into Osmund's peculiar mysteries.

PRAISE

"Rich with shadows both ominous and melancholy, The Dreaming of Man mixes Innsmouth with Dunsinane, and sends a reluctant investigator to lift a curse and-perhaps-avert a tragedy. Moody, claustrophobic, and strangely hopeful about our ability to transform ourselves and transcend the uses that others find for our identities."

-Ruthanna Emrys, author of Winter Tide and Deep Roots

"An eerie, anxious read, crawling with tentacles of loss, regret, and uncanny coincidence. Nikoline Kaiser's voice recalls the timbre of a rotting, bygone place and time while remaining fresh and crisp. A true joy for lovers of the weird!"

-A.Z. Louise, author of Off-Time Jive
