Synopsis

The Tree of Sweet Dreams

A Gothic Fairytale

Grief drives Elen into The Between - a forest where dreams take root, lanterns guard memories, and sweets hang from the branches of a legendary tree. If she can reach it, she might hear her brother's laughter once more.

But every gift in the Between asks a price. Shadow-wolves, dream-eaters, and a silver-tongued sorcerer stand in her path, each offering bargains that cut deeper than they seem. To claim even a taste of sweetness, Elen must decide what she is willing to surrender - and what she will fight to keep.

The Tree of Sweet Dreams is the first dark fairy tale in The Lantern Tales.

About this title

About the Author

I. R. Payne writes atmospheric gothic fiction and dark fairy tales that linger in the borderlands between folklore and memory. His stories often explore loss, courage, and the small light we carry through the dark. Based in the north of England, he draws inspiration from moorland paths, old railways, and the quiet magic of forgotten places. The Tree of Sweet Dreams is the first of the Lantern Tales collection
