Nightmares & Dreamscapes - Let's Discuss! *SPOILERS*

[Odetta]

I just picked up this book again after years of it collecting dust.
Went straight to The Moving Finger because that story always creeped me out. I think about it almost everytime I take a shower.


What are your faves from this collection?

[DanishCollector]

One of my favorite collections. Best stories: Home Delivery, Crouch End, The Night Flier and Popsy.

[Jean]

Popsy is one of my favorite stories ever.

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

My fav from this collection is Suffer the Little Children. This is one of my favorites period actually.

[mdk101]

Popsy is one of my favorite stories ever.

Joel Mantegna (currently of 'Criminal Minds' fame) does a real good narration for Popsy in the audiobook :)

However I must admit I still get creeped out sometimes if i'm by myself in the bathroom at work after reading Sneakers aha.

[sandcracker21]

this is probably my favorite collection of stories so far, beating out everythings eventual by a slim margin

Oh, definitely seconding you on Finger. Weird, mysterious, dark themes like that get me.

Also Crouch End, for the interdimensional theme.

[johnsmith87]

I've only read a few of the stories in Nightmares & Dreamscapes but my favorites so far are definitely The End of the Whole Mess and The Moving Finger.

Has anyone had a chance to listen to the new audio books for Nightmares & Dreamscapes?

Currently reading this collection. Cant understand why anyone would like Sneakers. I just dont understand the whole point of the story. I finished it and said to myself "Ok, but why should I care"

Couldn't agree more, Sneakers never really did anything for me.

The Moving Finger is defiantly my favourite of the book, with Crouch End and Chattery Teeth coming very close seconds. Suffer the Little Children is disturbing as hell and The 10 o Clock People is just mental. I love this book, best collection of short stories EVER! :)

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

It is probably my second favorite collection of shorts, my fav being Skeleton Crew. I havent read Just after Sunset yet though.

If Different Seasons counts, it might actually be my favorite, but its not really a collection of shorts.

[Tvmorbid]

I generally don't count the book with only 4 stories in as collections (4 Past Midnight, Different Seasons etc) either, they're more a place for short novels to live :)

Did anyone catch the N&D TV series? The only one I managed to track down was Crouch End which I thought was quite well done, even if they did change some of it. Was wondering if any of the other episodes where any good and which stories had been adapted.

Umney's Last Case
You Know They Got a Hell of a Band
The End of the Whole Mess

The Road Virus, Battleground, and Autopsy Room are not short stories in this set of collection.

[cody44]

No, but they did appear in the Nightmares & Dreamscapes tv show, which is what Brice is talking about.
