Synopsis

Did you dream too deeply? 'Tales: The Dreamcore Stories' hauls readers into worlds both like and unlike our own, a reality that isn’t reality and a dream that threatens something much more, and much deeper, than even the deepest sleep. ‘Tales: The Dreamcore Stories’ is the latest addition to the internationally best-selling series and social media phenomenon ‘Tales.’ Told from the perspective of a dreamer trapped in a deep and seemingly inescapable dream, it includes over 40 stories and illustrations. For lovers of the liminal, dreamcore, weirdcore and oddcore, these tales are universally resonant for anybody who has ever felt that reality isn’t quite as it seems. From warped recreations of your “home,” internet cafes where dreamers are trapped scrolling for eternity and sinister metro stations where trains only lead deeper into the dream, to an arcade where you can replay past moments of your life, warehouse raves where the music blasts away thoughts and a sinister Singing Lady whose songs lure dreamers out of reality, ‘Tales: The Dreamcore Stories’ is eerie, nostalgic and somehow familiar. All Tales are illustrated with full-colour, full-page images. With over 30 million views across TikTok and Instagram, Tales is loved by readers around the world.
