Stages of Sleep (eBook, ePUB)

Produktbeschreibung

15 short stories from writer/actor/filmmaker Nicholas Thurkettle explore the changes that come as we pass from the waking world into dreams. We begin in reality, with tales that are sometimes funny, sometimes painful, all set in the world we recognize where a wounded soldier asks his best friend to assist him in a strange attempt at healing, and a cranky old retiree becomes a most inconvenient messenger of love.

Then, we drift into another place, where the seemingly-real is invaded by the secret thoughts and dreams of a household appliance, and by centaurs that saunter into a bar to rid it of all things khaki.

Finally we are cast loose into pure dreams, where an insurance specialist can enjoy wild outer space adventures, and a nameless storyteller is offered a glimpse of an unusual and captivating Hell by none other than the Devil.

It's a tour through places not summed up by the word "reality", but nevertheless, all true to our lives.

Autorenporträt

Nicholas Thurkettle is a writer of screenplays, stage plays, and books, and an actor on stage, camera, and audio-wave. Born in Los Gatos, California, he grew up in the suburbs of Cincinnati, Ohio, turned teenage in Huntington Beach, California, and studied at Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois, where he earned B.A. degrees in Theatre Performance and Music. He has worked, among many other jobs, as a feature film story executive, a limousine driver, a film critic, a luggage salesman, a teacher of screenwriting, a professional smeller for a Sanitation Department, and something called a "data migration project supervisor." His first novel, Seeing by Moonlight (co-written with MF Thomas), debuted on all digital platforms in Autumn 2013 and was called "an intriguingly dark thriller, with enough twists and turns to keep the reader turning pages up until the rather surprising conclusion" by IndieReader. A second collaboration with MF Thomas, A Sickness in Time, is expected to be released by the end of 2015. He produced, wrote, and directed the short film Samantha Gets Back Out There, expected to play film festivals in 2016. He is a proud member of the Writers Guild of America and the Orange County Playwrights Alliance, an Artistic Associate with Shakespeare Orange County, and a producer/writer/performer with the award-winning audio drama podcast Earbud Theater. He currently lives in Southern California.
