Sleep Of Fools

by Lori R. Lopez

Overview

Are dreams fact or fiction? How well do we know what we do as we slumber, when we are most vulnerable? Can we trust our surroundings to be there once we open our eyes? Can we rely on the shadows not to spirit us away? The answers might startle you as the eyelids of possibility are peeled back . . . Some people are slaves to the clock. They have no other life apart from their work. Sometimes they awake to find themselves still laboring in their sleep. That is the premise of this sci-fi bizarro tale about a town in which two residents become aware they are nightly shuttled to the bottom of their world to sleepwork for a mysterious corporation that literally runs things. Their lives are the stuff of daydreams and nightmares, of continuous toil, and nothing seems to make sense. An illustrated print edition is available with artwork by the author! SLEEP OF FOOLS received Honorable Mention for the Science Fiction/Fantasy category of the 2017 Purple Dragonfly Book Awards.

About the Author

Lori R. Lopez enjoys writing weirdly. In fact, she likes to do a lot of weird things. When she isn’t doing or writing weird stuff, she tends to write Speculative Fiction such as Horror and Dark Fantasy or Poetry, but some of that is a bit weird too. Or more than a bit, especially when she is writing Nonsense Verse, which she does quite often because making sense isn’t what she does best. Sort of. At least some of the time. Then again she somehow juggles being an author, poet, or artist. And other things, like being a mother and a Samurai. Okay, she made part of that up. I’m not sure which. Her stories and verse have appeared in weird locations like magazines, anthologies, and websites. Inexplicably Lori has received various honors for her writing and art and loves to contort the rules of writing that everyone is supposedly supposed to do into balloon-animal shapes when it suits her style.

Editorial Reviews

Fed by pills, dressed in grey, putting cogs into place each and every day, all day, then to sleep; this is Chrono's world . . . The analogies and mental visuals that LRL conjures up and lays before you are fantastic. . . . the final twist in the tale is brilliant and I loved the end line. Jar Baby used to be my favourite story of LRL of all her amazing work but I read this back to back three times I was so enthralled. A masterpiece IMO.
