About the author
Nick DeWolf
5 books34 followers(Wait, do I do this in first person? Third person? Ugh, I never know. Do I go with the whole, 'Nick was born very young' thing? It's so awkward. Okay, I've kind of already started in first, so I'm going with first person. Less awkward... probably. Yeah.)
I'm the author of (Oh My God it's already awkward), FRIGHTFULLY EVER AFTER, PULLING STRINGS, VILLAINS NEVER DIE, and BETWEEN DAYS; a Dark Urban Fairy Tale, a psychological thriller, a diverse superhero story, and a collection of dreams (respectively).
Fiction is my thing, and always a little bit sci-fi. I like my stories to have a bit of mystery, and a horror backbone. You won't find much romance here, but be prepared for a generous helping of swearing. And similes. A lot of them.
When I'm not writing, I'm taking care of my brood of children, preparing mass quantities of food (for said brood), brewing my own beer (to help relieve the stress caused by the brood), and occasionally running crazy, overnight relay races with friends.

I am a big fan of Nick DeWolf and have enjoyed all his books. In fact, I would label Villains Never Die my favourite superhero story. Therefore, it should come as no surprise to know I am always eager to dive into a new release from the author. Although I have mixed feelings about short stories – I find them to be very hit or miss for me – I was eager to dive into Between Days.
Dream a Little Dream was a three-star rating. This was an interesting look into dreams and what happens within them, and it certainly had me invested in turning the pages. While I enjoyed watching it come together, I had hoped for something a bit more from the ending. Personal preference has me a little disappointment by this type of ending, but I know it works for many.
Silent Sky was a four-star rating. This was such an intriguing notion. It toed the line between what you knew and what you questioned, ensuring you were turning the pages at a rapid pace. I was eager to see the pieces come together and was not disappointed by the way the pieces interacted.
What the Mountain has to Offer was a three-star rating. This was a fun story inspired by folklore, and it was great to watch it play out. This was another of those cases where personal preference meant I did not enjoy the style quite as much as others will, simply because I am not wild about stories that flicker between now and another time. While it worked here, I did not love it. It was an intriguing story, though.
My Favorite Little Spot in the Middle of Nowhen was a four-star rating. This was another intriguing notion that has you questioning what you know and what you do not. It mixed so many elements together, combining simple ideas to create a complexity that holds your attention throughout. It packed plenty of punches through the unique approach.
Along New Lines was a three-star rating. This is one of those stories that will either work for you or not. I can certainly appreciate what was done with the story, yet it was not my type of tale. Nevertheless, I can appreciate the message sent within the story.
Rusty’s Run was a four-star rating. I enjoyed this from the start, although I will admit to being a wee bit dubious. I liked the approach, yet I feared there would not be much to the story. Thus, I was extremely happy when things took a twist that set the story down a new route. It gave much more than I expected, ensuring I could not put it down until I saw how everything came together. This easily earned an immediate place as one of my favourites in the collection.
Harsh Lessons was a three-star rating. I will be honest and say that I found it easy to work out where this was going. I enjoyed watching the pieces come together, liked seeing how everything played out, but I wish there had been a bit more to this to make it hit harder. This, however, I believe it a personal preference thing. I feel this is going to be one of those stories that divides people. It will hit hard for some. For me, it did not quite manage to do so.
Trouvé was a four-star rating. I adored this story and could not get enough of it. It was one of those simple ideas that was done in such a way that it was impossible to look away until all the pieces had come together. Even the parts that were expected failed to lessen the impact, ensuring it packed punch after punch. This was another story that easily earned an immediate spot on my favourite list for this collection.
The Vine was a three-star rating. This is another that I feel is going to divide people. I adored the message within the story and thought it was done wonderfully. However, the fact that I knew what message was coming from the start meant it did not hit quite as hard as I had hoped. I would have enjoyed a little bit more shock factor when the reveal came about. This is another personal preference thing, however. Overall, this was a powerful read that is sure to hit hard for many.
Between the Ropes was a three-star rating. This was different to the other stories in the collection. I feel it will be another dividing story. I enjoyed it, yet I did not love it. It was nice to experience something a little different, and I appreciate the way it demonstrated the author’s range. If nothing else, it’s a nice little interlude between the other stories.
The Wheresit was a four-star rating. This was such a fun idea. I adored it from the start and quickly fell hard for it. I had so much fun with the notion and each new detail kept me deeply invested. It was also one where the end shocked me. I feel like I should have expected it, yet I was so deeply invested in the idea that I was appreciating the story rather than predicting what was to come. It meant the end hit hard, and I loved the little twist. Without a doubt, this was another that earned an immediate place on my favourite list for the collection.
Goddess of the Forest was a three-point-five-star rating. I was a bit conflicted about how to rate this one, hence the between rating. I adored the mythology of this one and had lots of fun watching the way things came together. However, simply because of the topic handled, I had expected a bit more power to come from the punch landed. That is not to say I did not enjoy it – I did – but I did feel it was a bit soft for the storyline involved. Nevertheless, I had fun with it.
Threshold Intergalactic Cruise Services was another three-point-five-star rating. Again, I was somewhat conflicted about whether to round this rating up or down. This one hooked me from the start, was such a fun way of telling a story, yet I wanted a bit more from the way everything played out. It was easy to work out where things were heading, yet the way it concluded was not quite as fulfilling as I had anticipated. Not because it was bad, but simply because I wanted a little more. This is a personal preference thing, though.
The Witch’s Eye was a three-star rating. This was a fun little tale that had me hooked throughout. I can certainly see many enjoying this, but it was not a favourite for me. It was certainly a fun idea, and I loved the elements involved, but I wanted more from it to love it completely. This was one case where I think this would have worked better as a bigger story – or, if nothing else, it works as an introduction to a bigger story. This is another personal preference case, though.
Behind the Hidden Door was a four-star rating. I quickly fell for this story, and I adored the way it was told. In many ways, it was a simple story. However, the power from this one came from the way in which the story was told. It kept me hooked throughout, eager to see how each new detail would come together, and I had so much fun watching the pieces fall into place.
Death at the Table was a four-star rating. This was such a fun little story. It was quirky in the best possible way, ensuring I could not get enough of it. I will be honest and say that I worked out where things were heading easily, yet that was not enough to lessen my enjoyment of the story. The pleasure came from watching the way everything came together, and it was a great pleasure to watch. It made for a great end to the collection.
All in all, this was a great collection of short stories. As with any collection, I had clear favourites (Rusty’s Run, Trouvé, and The Wheresit, but the overall experience was wonderful. With plenty of variety, there is something for everyone in this quirky collection of tales, all of which show off the author’s talent. Without a doubt, it is well worth the read for fans of the author or those looking for a place to start with their work.
Dream a Little Dream was a three-star rating. This was an interesting look into dreams and what happens within them, and it certainly had me invested in turning the pages. While I enjoyed watching it come together, I had hoped for something a bit more from the ending.

Thank you so much to the author for sharing an advanced reader copy with me!
Have you ever had a dream so random and bonkers where you wanted to get it down on paper to try and record every crazy detail? Or have you ever been someone who tried to interpret your own dreams or the dreams of others? Well Between Days might be of interest to you!
Between Days is a collection of dreams, or short stories, from author Nick Dewolf, who has proclaimed that he doesn’t sleep well 😂 but if you have dreams like him, I feel like I would wanna sleep often to see what interesting stories come of it! Each story is so unique, offering everything from bizarre to heartfelt to creepy.
My Favorite Little Spot in the Middle of Nowhen is one that I really enjoyed. A story about a cute, classic American diner where time is…off. “It is all of time and none of time, at the same time!” I can’t really explain why it stood out to me, but it scratched a particular part of my brain 😆
As someone who has always had an interest in dreams and trying to find meaning in them, this was such a great reading experience! I’m trying to induce more vivid dreams so I can try to come up with my own crazy detailed dream stories 🤭
Thank you again to the author for this copy. Though it might be rude, I hope you continue to sleep poorly so that you might dream up more fantastical stories!

When I picked up Between Days by Nick DeWolf, I had no idea what to expect. I’d read his novels but only one of his short stories, and I certainly didn’t know what a collection of dreams was. What I found was a cool collection of tales full of wonder, horror, imagination, and heart.
Between Days is a collection of short stories based on dreams, and it’s notably filled with variety and diversity of thought. Each story has its own identity and an apparent reason for being, but more than that, the sheer breadth of aesthetic is impressive. Many writers have trouble writing anything that isn’t literally inspired by their daily lives or lack the ability to imagine themselves as anyone but themselves, but this book demonstrates Nick DeWolf’s imagination knows no boundaries. I didn’t realize until this collection that what I’ve always wanted from him is a book full of his stories. This book shows what his beautifully unique brain can produce when it is unrestrained and empowered to follow its muse. It’s a wonderful thing to behold, and while his novels are magnificent descents into living, breathing worlds full of intriguing characters and compelling plots, this collection allows him to play with his extraordinary imagination in many different ways.
Between Days is kind of like going to Nick DeWolf’s fro-yo shop where the fro-yo is his imagination and you can stick your head under the spouts at will. Toppings are free. Go ahead and heap them on. Nobody’s going to weigh your bowl at the end.
I think most readers look to stories primarily to take them somewhere alluring and to be with people who are interesting. Nick DeWolf has a creative mind that is uniquely suited to satisfy these desires. As a means of escape, Between Days grants readers worlds and realities to wander and wonder about. Moreover, I think most readers are looking for experience, vicarious living through empathy, when they pick up a book. I think most readers are looking to feel something, and in that regard, I think this collection is full of successes.
One of the things I look to any story collection for is to see the writer trying new things. The best collections are imperfect because the writer experimented. In many ways, Between Days is something of an experiment for the writer and the form. Nick is playing with form, structure, perspective, and much more, but considering the dream aspect—each of these stories is based on a dream Nick had—it’s something of an experiment for the discipline and art form, I think. Most important, though, Between Days is a book of Nick DeWolf playing and having fun with storytelling. Simply with its sheer breadth of wild imaginings, it’s a fun, enjoyable, and wonderful book, even as many of the dreams cross into terrifying nightmare.
It's a collection that contains the bizarre, uncanny, and surreal but also the more grounded and straight-forward stories. Nick mixes these tales to great effect, allowing the reader to sample from different experiences as they work their way through the book. There’s an order here, and as you read through the book, you start to see Nick turn the prism that contains his imagination, each angle offering something special.
My favorite stories were “Trouvé,” “Harsh Lessons,” “The Witch’s Eye,” and “Death at the Table.” In the first, a young man is searching for himself in Paris but finds his room haunted by the ghost of a little girl who just wants connection and to feel the sun just one last time. In the second, a female servant serves just what her colonial oppressor deserves, and man, this one is satisfying as it rolls toward a tense climax. In the third, a British ship captain shows mercy to a crew of derelict pirates, until one of them accuses him of supernatural abilities that would see him stripped of title and power. Finally, a young couple, living with the spirit of an American Civil War colonel and a baba yaga, invite Death in for dinner when he comes calling.
Each of these pieces is unique. I’ve never read anything like any of them, and I’ve read fairly far and wide. If Between Days has nothing else to offer, it has originality for even the most jaded reader. I promise, if you pick this book up, you’ll find at least some of these stories will stick with you simply because there is nothing else like them out there.
I think that’s all credit to Nick’s imagination. Nothing is derivative. Everything is earnestly created and inspired, and if that isn’t a good reason to try a book out, I don’t know what is.

I'm a big fan of Nick DeWolf's work (Villains Never Die by him is one of my all time fav books ever, just check my review :)) )
I was honored to be one of the early readers of Between Days and to even blurb it! This is a collection of stories of all kinds - fantasy, thriller, post-apocalyptic, bordering on horror etc.
THE WHERESIT was my absolute favourite. I liked it to much I went back and reread the whole thing, which is why I said in the blurb "don't be surprised if you finish a story only to want to read it again".
WHAT THE MOUNTAIN HAS TO OFFER scratched a personal Appalachian-Mountains-and-skinwalkers itch I've been having for a while.
I love dystopian, post-apocalyptic stories, but I've never read them from the POV of a dog, so I loved RUSTY'S RUN.
I loved HARSH LESSONS and GODDESS OF THE FOREST for the female characters.
THE WITCH'S EYE felt like there could be more there, like it could be the start of an entire novel.
There were also a lot of elements I loved in the other stories: the ending of BEHIND THE HIDDEN DOOR and of ALONG THE LINES and the concept of MY FAVOURITE LITTLE SPOT IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHEN.
*
Looking forward to Nick DeWolf's future writings!

- I received an advanced reader copy to review -
I had such a good time reading this short story collection! It's a collection of dreams and to me, the whole concept of the stories being dreams was so well done. Not every story had a killer plot, but that was not necessary as dreams don't always have cool plots either. This actually just made it more realistic to me. I also loved how different every story was. There was so much variety in characters and types of stories and genres. It was super fluently written, too. I was immediately captivated by the first story and ended up reading all the dreams in one sitting. My favorite stories were Trouvé and Death at the Table, but there wasn't one I didn't enjoy. I truly recommend this whole collection!
