Nightwish: The Official Novelization

by David Irons

IN YOUR DREAMS, NO ONE CAN HEAR YOU SCREAM…

A professor and four graduate students embark on an ambitious experiment to explore the hidden power of dreams. But when the boundaries between the subconscious and reality begin to collapse, they find themselves trapped in a maze of impossible horrors. Haunted by terrifying visions, grotesque creatures, and an unseen force manipulating their every move, they must escape before this nightmare consumes them.

Part haunted-house mystery, part science-fiction horror, and part surreal dreamscape, Nightwish: The Official Novelization is even more terrifying and bizarre than the cult classic movie it’s based on, taking readers deeper into the madness and horror.

About the author

David Irons was the kid who went to his room to watch and read horror when his relatives came round. It paid off. When he left his room, he became an award-winning filmmaker and writer living on the south coast of England. His films, colourful and stylish in design, have won awards at the Cambridge Film festival, Las Vegas VIFF festival, and LA Independent Festival for cinematography, editing, writing, and directing. '7 Winters Alone' - a sci-fi, horror short - was a winner in David Lynch's 2014 Short Film Competition.

In 2019 David had his first novel, Night Waves, published, followed by Night Creepers, Polybius, and The Bloody Tracks of Bigfoot in 2020 - 2021 from Severed Press. Since then, David has become a Splatterpunk award-nominated writer for his '80s summer camp slasher, 'Don't Go To Wheelchair Camp.'

The moral of this story is to be weird and stay in your room. It pays off in the end.
