Marlow
by Andy Briggs
A boy has narcolepsy and every time he sleeps, monsters cross from another world through his dreams to our world. They contact a gal named Marlow who had been trained since she was a young girl to fight these creatures. It's an action packed, monster book but has a good ending too!

What a ride, a superb story full of gloriously inventive ideas, great charactera, a alcoholic sarcastic antisocial nightmare hunter, a young boy who is more grown up and intelligent than the adults, wonderful imagery. Engrossing and entertaining with an end of the world climax. Glorious,

What if the Nightmare Realm was a reality and it's beings were trying to enter, and take over, our World?
Marlow is a nightmare hunter. This is not a career she wished to have but one that was forced on her by her father. Dan is a young boy with narcolepsy and unbeknownst to him, a very strong conduit into the Nightmare Realm.
Marlow and Dan must work together to save those that they love, and the rest of Earth's inhabitants, from the horrors who see humans as food. Will they succeed? Read Marlow to find out. Happy reading. Annemarie
