Synchronized Sleepwalking Martin Mundt

Publisher Marketing: To sleep, perchance to dream... And in dreaming lies the danger! With Martin Mundt as your dangerous Dream Master, in the 27 tales within, you'll visit places dark and places strange. You'll live dreams both oddly hilarious and eerily heart-wrenching. From a couple with a fetish for fireworks to a tower of words that reaches to the sky and beyond... from a dominatrix with a perverted parrot to a triptych of El Pollo tales of fowl revenge... from an ex-girlfriend who'd make Kathy Bates' character in Misery seem like a good time girl to a Lovecraftian descent into the darkest magic... These dreams will kidnap your imagination and take you to places you've never dared before to see. Hide all the sharp objects in your bedroom and prepare for some serious Sleepwalking...

He shares a deep purple den in Naperville, Illinois with a cockatoo and cockatiel, a disparate collection of skulls, twisted skeletal fairies, and a large stuffed Eeyore. There's also a mounted Chinese fowling spider named Stoker, an ever-growing shelf of custom mix CDs and an acoustic guitar that he can't really play but that his son likes to hear him beat on anyway. Sometimes his wife is surprised to find him shuffling through more public areas of the house, but it's usually only to brew another cup of coffee or restock a pint of Newcastle.
