Publisher Description
The Poet Anderson …Of Nightmares Enhanced Edition comes with rich multi-media content embedded within the text to give fans a directors cut of the novel including deeper insight into characters, author inspiration and more content from the multi-media universe of Poet Anderson that spans animation, comics, books and music.
From the critically acclaimed transmedia project Poet Anderson: The Dream Walker, comes what is hailed as a "teen Blade Runner, this book has nonstop action with dramatic, heart-pounding escapes" by the School Library Journal. Poet Anderson...Of Nightmares is a thrilling, edge of your seat story written by award-winning musician, producer and director Tom DeLonge and New York Times bestselling author Suzanne Young.
Poet Anderson...Of Nightmares follows the epic journey of two orphan brothers Jonas and his older brother Alan who are Lucid Dreamers. After a car accident lands Alan in a coma, Jonas sets out into the Dream World in an attempt to find his brother and wake him up. What he discovers instead is an entire shared consciousness where fear comes to life as a snarling beast called a Night Terror, and a creature named REM is bent on destruction and misery, devouring the souls of the strongest dreamers. With the help of a Dream Walker—a guardian of the dreamscape, Jonas must face his fears, save his brother, and become who he was always meant to be: Poet Anderson.
Also keep an eye out for …Of Nightmares, the original soundtrack EP by Angels & Airwaves.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Former Blink-182 lead vocalist DeLonge teams up with Young (The Remedy) for a trilogy opener in which factions battle for control of the Dream and Waking worlds. In his everyday life, Jonas Anderson is dealing with the aftermath of a car accident that left his brother in a coma; in another world, he's Poet Anderson, a "Lucid Dreamer" capable of controlling the dream state around him and caught in a struggle between the Dream Walkers, who act as guardians, and the Night Stalkers, soulless tools of the malevolent REM. As this first book unfolds, Poet works to master his abilities, understand the scope of the brewing war, and attempt to save his brother's life. The ambitious story is filled with well-worn tropes, and the core romance happens with the speed of dream logic. The stylistic visuals, which work well in a tie-in animated short film, Poet Anderson: The Dream Walker, lack the same impact on the page. The storytelling is solid, and the setting is intriguing, but the novel suffers from thin character development and overfamiliar elements. Ages 12 up.

READ IT!!
I received this book last week and I read it in 2 days. I could not put it down!! I tried so hard to pace myself while reading this book because I knew I didn't want it to end but I kept getting lost into the dream world with Jonas. I fell in love with Poet Anderson many many many months ago when I saw the short film and read the comics. The book is simply brilliant. It has everything you would want comedy, lovable characters, romance, fantasy and action. I'm a huge bookworm and I must say Jonas has made it to my top 5 favorite book characters of all time! DeLonge and Young wrote an amazing story. I'm really hoping for more adventures with the Anderson brothers!
