A unique work by a unique genius. Moore has an understanding of the occult peculiar to a very few and it always gives me the shivers; the shivers which say ‘authenticity’. Get this book while you’re part of the minority who know about it – <em>Michael Moorcock</em>

SOMNIUM is a brilliant fever-dream of a novel, a chambered nautilus of moon-drenched tales within a tale that spiral both inward and outward <em><a href="http://www.jacquelinecarey.com/index.htm" target="_blank">– Jacqueline Carey</a></em>

<strong> ABOUT THE BOOK</strong>

Written in the early years of the 21st century, when the author was engaged in dream-explorations and mystical practices centred on the Greek moon-goddess Selene, <em>Somnium</em> is an intensely personal and highly-embroidered fictional tapestry that weaves together numerous historical and stylistic variations on the enduring myth of Selene and Endymion. Ranging through the 16th to 21st centuries, it combines mediæval, Elizabethan, Gothic and Decadent elements in a fantastic romance of rare imagination.

With its delirious and heartbroken text spiralling out from the classical myth of Endymion and the Greek lunar goddess Selene, <em>Somnium</em> is an extraordinary odyssey through love and loss and lunacy, illuminated by the silvery moonlight of its exquisite language.

With an afterword by Alan Moore, whose biographical piece <em>Unearthing</em> details the life of his friend and mentor Steve Moore, and includes the circumstances surrounding the writing of  <em>Somnium</em>.
