Echoes of a Dream - First 11 Chapters!
If your dreams came to life, could you control them?
Or would they control you?
Eric Hudd is a recovering drug addict trying to keep his head down and make an honest living at the corporate art factory. When his dreams start bleeding into the waking world, he assumes years of drugs have finally caught up to him. But when other people’s dreams start bleeding over too, he can no longer dismiss the weirdness as a delusion. With his carefully-constructed sober life falling apart around him, his quest for sanity will take him to alternate dimensions, his own past, other people's bodies, and a corporate conspiracy that will have sweeping implications for all of humankind.
"A surreal hell ride through a Kafkaesque dreamscape of fear and insecurity." - National Book Reviewer Paul Goat Allen
