THE DREAMSTONE

All my life, I have been keenly interested in dreams. As a reader, I am doubly interested in fictional dreams—my favorites are Gilbert’s “Nightmare Song” in Iolanthe, which rings so true that I can’t help theorizing it was an actual dream of Gilbert’s own, which he set down in verse; the early dream chapter in Wuthering Heights; and, of course, Lewis Carroll’s Alice books, which, apart from being much longer and more sustained than the dream sequences of an average night, are in fact surprisingly dreamlike.

Is it any wonder that I keep trying to do dreams in my own fiction?

These next three stories are related to my unfinished novel The Purgatory Club, included in the aftermath of the present collection. I had originally planned to describe the work of the eponymous talisman among the institution’s entire population of permanent inmates, but never got beyond the first three stories. Anyone who has been reading the Fanciers and Realizers collection straight through may recognize a few characters from earlier stories.
