Prepare to awaken and see the world through the eyes of a dreamer.

Immortal Memories is the first in a series of novels and short story collections set in an alternate view of our reality called The Waking Dream. The Waking Dream is our world which is inhabited by Dreamers Sleepers, Immortals and other forces that live in a mysterious realm called the Spaces Between. Our reality is created through a force known as the Weird which seeps into our world from the Spaces Between, allowing the creation of all that we see and dream. Dreamers and Immortals are able to use the Weird, via their own weirdness, to change the fabric of reality – creating a collective waking dream.

Each of the seven stories in this collection is a single moment in the life of one of the Immortals. The stories in this collection all have a common tie, and will help the reader become acquainted with The Waking Dream Universe, before the release of the full length novel, Waking Dream: Devlin – the first in the three part “Transformation Series”.

Some of the featured stories are: The Book of One is told from the perspective of the first immortal, One, who tries to explain that the days to follow will be a trial for all mankind, Dreamers, Sleepers and Immortals alike. It is written in such a way as to explain the hidden aspects of our reality.

The Black Heart in Madness is a twist on the mysterious death of Ludwig II of Bavaria, the Fairy Tale King, who built Neuschwanstein, and how in his latter life, he was inhabited by an immortal named Deakin Droon.

The Charnel House is the story of three gamers gone ghost hunter who stumble on a strange house that gives them more than they bargained for and a glimpse into the Spaces Between.

The Fairy In Red is the story of a strange relationship between and immortal and a dreamer set in 1919 New Orleans.

What Rough Beast is an erotica tale of evil governing evil. It explores the depths of human depravity and exposes an ancient force that has existed beyond memory.

In addition to the stories, there is a sneak peak of the upcoming novel, The Waking Dream: Devlin, which gives the reader a sense of the things to come for our world.

Immortal Memories: Volume 1 by E. Michael Hibbard is extremely well written and definitely appeals to a wide range of audiences. As a result, I enjoyed all of the stories each for different reasons.

My two favorite stories are "The Fairy in Red" and "So Long, But Never Say Good-Bye" due to the aspect of romance. However, be sure to note that the stories contained in this volume are definitely not that of romance. There are tales of torture, darkness, violence, rituals, and even hapless ghost hunters. All of which certainly make this an extraordinary read!

Since some of these characters transcend time, I am eagerly awaiting additional stories to see what new adventures await them whether past, present, or future!

I recently finished reading Mr. Hibbard's book and I must say, it was quite an intriguing read. Knowing that these tales are all connected on some level, I found myself looking for links between the characters in the various stories. I am eagerly awaiting the new works from Mr. Hibbard; as I was left wanting more at the end of each chapter. My two favorite tales in the book were The Charnel House and Blood Dolls. This book will make you ask yourself, "Am I a Sleeper or a Dreamer; and could I be Immortal?". Pick this book up and "embrace the Weird".
