The perfect nightmare takes reality and shifts it
only slightly, so that on the surface it is as if nothing
has changed…like a perfect fruit which conceals
a crawling maggot. To create the perfect nightmare,
to blur the dividing line between what is real, and
what might be real is the sign of a craftsman...and
the Imp is a master craftsman.
For ten years Robert Hunter has been a world bestselling
horror writer. Katherine Norton, the editor of his
latest novel, senses that the work holds something
more ominous than horror fiction within it, and her
nightmares give voice to her suspicions.
But are her fears generated from harmless reading,
or are they an enactment of terrifyingly sadistic,
occult killings? A series of brutal murders across
the city are horrifyingly similar to those in the manuscript…but
which comes first: the imagining or the experience? |
