From School Library Journal Gr 10 Up—Jonas Anderson's parents died in a plane accident, and his brother was forced to quit school so he could support him. The brothers have been in a horrifying car accident. Jonas has survived, but Alan is hospitalized in a deep coma and will not wake up. Jonas follows through on the job his brother was about to start at the Eden, which is the same hotel where his parents used to work. The teen realizes things are not what they seem at the hotel, but he's distracted with visiting his brother, attending a new high school, and adjusting to his job. The siblings have inherited the ability to visit dreams from their mother; before Alan's accident, they were searching for a deeply hidden dream city that Alan insists exists. Jonas continues his visits to the Dream World, hoping he will run into his brother. One evening, he is attacked by a massive, petrifying creature. A Dream Walker named Jarabec comes to Jonas's rescue and becomes his mentor. Soon, Jonas encounters Night Terrors and murderous Dream Walkers; if he dies in the dream world, he also dies in the waking world. Like a teen Blade Runner, this book has nonstop action with dramatic, heart-pounding escapes from the evil clutches of the Night Terrors, Dream Stealers, and REM—a Dream Walker hoping to steal Jonas's soul. The protagonist falls in love with a beautiful Lucid Dreamer he first meets at school, and this light romantic plot thread lends more layers to this electric read. VERDICT An epic and sizzling tale of a teen hero struggling to find his destiny.—Julie Shatterly, W. A. Bess Elementary School, Gastonia, NC
Review Reads like a blend between Harry Potter and The Matrix. ...Of Nightmares hits the trifecta. (Consequence of Sound)"...alt rock's J.K. Rowling." (Yahoo! music)"No doubt about it- Tom DeLonge is a modern-day Dream Weaver." (Digital Trends)Musician DeLonge (of the band Blink-182) teams with seasoned writer Young (The Program, 2013) to explore the relationship between dreams and reality. Orphaned when their parents die in a plane crash, brothers Jonas and Alan can travel together in dreams and are learning how to manipulate waking reality through their actions in those dreamscapes. On their way to Seattle, where Alan will start a doorman job at the Eden Hotel, a terrible auto accident leaves Alan in a coma. There’s shades of the Wild West in the almost nonstop action, which includes a car chase, a monocycle race, and fist and knife fights, leaving little room for developing personalities. Characters are closer to archetypes than flesh and blood, but the draw here will be the interesting questions raised about the power of our fears, and the hero’s journey to conquer inner demons. This first in a planned trilogy will be released concurrent with an original soundtrack and accompanying visual art. — Debbie Carton (Booklist Online)“It is a very quick and quite enjoyable read. It is full of action and suspense as well as humour. The world DeLonge has created is incredibly vivid and well imagined and the plot has some great twists, especially near the end, which were utterly unexpected. ... I would encourage you to read it if you enjoy fast paced action and romance with tense cliff hangers.” (The Guardian)"This is a book that guys and girls, as well as their parents, can get behind and totally fall in love and that’s so rare to find these days. If you’re ready for a book that will take you into a world which can be found each time you close your eyes, a dark adventure full of new and fascinating places and characters you won’t soon forget, then absolutely pick up Poet Anderson…Of Nightmares and get prepared to be blown away!! Absolutely my favorite read of 2015 and I can’t wait for book two!!" (My So-Called Book Reviews (5 out of 5 stars))"I totally enjoyed every minute spent reading this masterpiece of a novel and I’m eagerly awaiting the next installment in this surreal, visceral, imaginative, fantastical, adventurous ride of a novel and I highly recommend this to ALL readers!" (Cover2Cover (4.5 out of 5 stars))"Tom DeLonge and Suzanne Young created a story that pulled me in from the very first page and kept me turning the pages to find out what was going to happen next... Just know that I loved every minute of this book and am hopeful that we will have more stories from these two that include the Andersons. Definitely consider checking this book out when you can – I found I was unable to put it down and now that I am finished I just want more." (Fiction Fare (5 out of 5 stars))"5/5 Engaging and innovative...exciting and highly entertaining." (Foreword Magazine)

It follows two brothers Jonas and Alan Anderson. These two are lucid dreamers and can travel in the dream world. With a scrambled family history they move because a new oppurtunity has presented itself. But on the way they expirience a tragic event and Jonas must go into the dream world and figure out a solution. With the help of his Dream Walker he sets out on a epic journey that will keep you wanting more.Tom Delonge's vision for the Poet universe has expanded drastically. It is one of the most interesting worlds and stories you will read. It takes everything you love from Star Wars, Harry Potter, Tron, and Blad runner and creates an amazing story. I highly reccomend reading the comic book series that takes place before the book. It gives a better understanding of the characters. But if that doesn't sound like something you would do the book still builds every character individually.Susan Young is one of the most talented authors of our generation. With her descriptions of the world it truly feels like you are watching a movie. This book has non stop intensity from the action sequences to the love story. Everything will make you want to turn the next page and continue reading.This book really is a breath of fresh aire. It is so original and makes you hope this is what every new franchise will do. This is a must read for all sci-fi fans. Or any person who loves a fun unique story. So check it out.

By Benjamin Seeman Poet Anderson… Of Nightmares is the latest installment of a cross-media project written by Tom Delonge and Suzanne Young. I have been a fan of Tom Delonge’s work for over a decade and have particularly enjoyed the Poet Anderson project which has already included an award winning animated short, three comic books, a graphic novel and two albums, The Dream Walker LP and the …Of Nightmares EP which is a companion to the novel. I impatiently awaited the release of the Poet Anderson… Of Nightmares novel and I was not disappointed.The plot is a typical hero’s quest, but what really drew me in was the depth and detail of the world created by Tom Delonge and his creative team. It describes a Dream World, a place where all of us visit when we sleep. Most of us simply wander through the Dream World, unware that we are even dreaming. The Lucid Dreamers are well aware of their dream state and have the ability to control their dreams and, to an extent, change their environment. But there are those in the Dream World who have even greater awareness and even greater abilities.Unbeknownst to most of the Waking World, there is war waging in the Dream World where REM, the epitome of evil and the harbinger of nightmares, strives to not only control the realm in which he exists, but he seeks to enter the Waking World where he can make nightmares real. He and his army of Night Stalkers and Night Terrors consistently battle the Dream Walkers, dreamers who will stop at nothing to put a stop to REMs malevolent ways.Enter Jonas Anderson, an orphan who, like his older brother Alan, are Lucid Dreamers and have enjoyed exploring the Dream World in a very limited capacity. They have suspicions of deeper levels of subconscious awareness but never had a chance to fully explore. After Alan is put into a coma from a terrible and suspicious car accident, Jonas resolves to find a way into the deeper realms of the Dream World to find and retrieve his brother. It is then that Jonas begins to learn the true nature of the Dream World and his place in it.Jonas has a destiny that neither he nor his brother ever imagined and Poet Anderson… Of Nightmares is about his journey to that discovery. In the Dream World he makes many friends and enemies, learns to overcome his fears, to own the pain he has for so long locked away and to trust in himself and the people he loves and love him.The book reads extremely easily and the prose flowed so smoothly that I, as a 40 year old man, initially thought it was a little to “young” for my liking. However, after a few chapters of getting used to Suzanne Young’s style and getting familiar with the world and characters she eloquently describes, it was very easy for me to visualize everything that was transpiring on the pages. The dialogue between Jonas and his younger companions was appropriately juvenile (he is a high school student, after all) and the manner in which the more grown-up characters spoke effectively contrasted the attitudes of the mature and not so mature characters. The development of Jonas’ relationship with his love interest Sam felt particularly awkward, but then, what teenage romance isn’t awkward?The morals and philosophies of the Dream Walkers, though ultimately benevolent, beg us to ask many questions: How far can you go to stop evil, even if it means sacrificing the lives of the good? How far is too far? It is a devastating war the Dream Walkers are fighting and REM has no objection to killing anyone in his way. But when the Dream Walkers determine that Jonas is the key to their victory and to REMs victory, should Jonas be destroyed for the sake of the rest of the world? It is a very important question that the book poses and it is an obvious reflection of our Waking World. It is a question we should be asking ourselves.I enjoyed this book on all levels… the characters, the story, the highly detailed world. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys science-fiction… from cyberpunk to fantasy, space opera to thrillers… it even appealed to the part of my heart that is still 15 years old. The characters are loveable and loathsome, the story is gripping and the settings is unbelievable. The imagination of Tom Delonge is rich and deep and Suzanne Young did an amazing job putting it on paper for all of us to experience.

The cover is done by an artist by the name of Tom French. Once you get to know the story and the characters the cover is more than an alluring price of art. Remove the dust jacket from the book and in silver letters it simply says, 'A dream is a dream is a dream...' It's a nice touch. In the front flap of the dust jacket it has a synopsis of the book. Giving you more clues on who Poet Anderson is. In the back flap it tells you about both authors. I'm already a fan of Tom but I'm a new fan of Suzanne Young's. It's nice that they name some books of hers, that way I can submerge myself into her world of writing more. I personally, as a painter would of liked to see some info on Tom French. I know he's not a huge contribution to the book but he captivates you to want to pick up the book. The book I bought had a soundtrack to listen to while reading and a poster. For the target audience of young readers, that's a pretty awesome bonus. I would say kids in high school should read this book, I'm waiting for my 12 year old sister gets older before I give her, her copy. Some of subjects in the book, though not graphic, are not appropriate for her.I'm a fan of the preface greatly probably because I'm a fan of Tom Delonge. Tom shares the journey and behind the scenes of how the book project came about. My absolute favorite part about the preface is when he talks that 'feeling', as an artist I like to express myself in my art with what I feel. I look forward to what Tom is working on next. I would of liked to see something from Suzanne.In general it's a young adult fiction book. It has a great balance of good vs evil. It's exciting and holds your attention. You don't want to put it down! Although there were times I would find myself shocked at something that happened I would have to put the book down, covering my mouth with my hand. I would have to immediately pick it back up to see what happened next. It has a little bit of everything; fear, anger, bravery, emotion and love. Romance that starts with a pen. Poet and Sam are definitely soul mates, no you can't even call it that! Lucid mates, dream mates... The girl of his dreams is just a fading reality.The book has infinite realities, leaving it as a perfect platform to keep the story to go on and on. Considering I loved the book and highly recommend it, I find the idea of more poet books exciting. My favorite quote from the book is, "So he kept the deeper parts of himself hidden, a trick he'd learned while bouncing from place to place..." I feel like I can relate to the character. Which makes this book that much greater. He's a lost soul, he has a life where things are out of control but he finds something that he has control over. He learns to face his fears, to discover the hero inside, the hero all of us have in us. I learned from this book that if you master your fears, the power is yours.
