Synopsis:

A jewelled whirlpool of a tale, Somnium is a richly poetic pagan fantasy, a narrative of shifting levels presented in a dazzling array of styles, ranging from that of the medival romance through Elizabethan tragedy to the Gothic novel and the sublime madness of the Decadents. With its delirious and heartbroken text spiralling out from the classical myth of Endymion and the Greek lunar goddess Selene, Somnium is an extraordinary odyssey through love and loss and lunacy, illuminated by the silvery moonlight of its exquisite language.

About the Author: Until his death in 2014, Steve Moore wrote comic books, novels and nonfiction, including his study of the I-Ching, The Trigrams of Han, his critically acclaimed novel, Somnium, and the posthumous collection of short fantasy stories, Tales of Telguuth. He also had a long-standing editorial connection with Fortean Studies and Fortean Times, to which he was a frequent contributor from their inception.
