I don't recall if I saw my first gunman in my childhood nightmares
or on my childhood streets. There were plenty in both and they
looked very much like each other. So begins Reggie
Chamberlain-King's introduction to The Black Dreams, a thrilling
and compelling collection of specially commissioned stories that
explore the emotional geography of growing up and living in
Northern Ireland. The fourteen stories gathered here criss-cross
coast, border and city as they map a 'strange' territory of
in-between states and unstable realities in which understanding is
unreliable. Obsessions, death and rebirth, violence, sexuality,
retribution and apocalypse are all part of the rich fabric of The
Black Dreams. Bringing together some of Northern Ireland's finest
writers, along with some of the best new talents, The Black Dreams
celebrates and extends the rich tradition of the weird, surreal and
dream-like in Northern Irish writing. It is also a powerful act of
imagining and storytelling - a vibrant, vivid and exhilarating
exploration of a world we cannot, or choose not, to see.
