Dimension House … An Imprint of Delirium Books Presents:

Brian Lumley’s … The Dreamlands Series

Dimension House's second project has just been announced. It's a five book deluxe leather-bound set of Brian Lumley's The Dreamlands Series featuring the novels Hero of Dreams, Ship of Dreams, Mad Moon of Dreams, Iced on Aran and a yet-to-be-titled fifth book comprised of the remainder of the series that was inspired by H.P. Lovecraft. After the fifth book is published, there will be a special slipcase designed that can be purchased to house the entire series.

Dimension House will be offering each of these novels as signed deluxe leather-bound hardcovers, limited to only 52 copies. Each book contains a foil stamped covers, special end papers and a bound-in ribbon marker. Full color frontispieces by Dave Kendall have been contracted for each book.

Each title in the series: $160.00 per book.

Order the entire series for $800.00 (and get matching numbers and the slipcase for free).

<font color='orange'> Your credit card will only be charged $160.00 as each book in the series ships.</font>

Order online through the Delirium Books' Online Catalog http://www.deliriumbooks.com/dreamlands.htm

</font> October 2004: HERO OF DREAMS Something vital is missing form David Hero's comfortable, ordinary existence. One day is much like the next, simple, predictable ... boring. But the nights! Each night David Hero finds himself transported to a marvellous world where brave men and women battle terrible creatures possessed of cruel, dark powers. Despite his fears, the Dreamworlds tempt David, drawing him farther and farther from the waking world. Here he finds noble warriors; beautiful, loving women; and challenges almost greater than he can imagine.</font>

</font> January 2005: SHIP OF DREAMS Led by wickedly beautiful Queen Zura, the zombie armies of the dead are on the march. They will destroy the beautiful Dreamlands, making them a permanent, deadly nightmare. Unaware of the marauding zombies, David Hero and his friend Eldin voyage through the clouds in a wondrous skyship. Their journey is interrupted by a pack of faceless night-gaunts, terrifying creatures, half-man and half-bat -- and all evil! David Hero is one of Zura's first targets. As a man of the waking world, he can withstand her terrible seductive power and shatter her shambling armies. David Hero must be the first Dreamlands hero to die.</font>
</font> April 2005: MAD MOON OF DREAMS Swollen, glowing oddly in the gloom of night, the moon hangs lower and lower over the Dreamlands. Its weird, unearthly light transforms beautiful landscapes into twisted nightmares and imperils the sanity of any who walk abroad after sunset. Beams of terrible power stab the unsuspecting earth, destroying the land, shattering buildings, and dragging people into the shrieking sky, straight toward the hellish moon! David Hero, once a man of the waking world, finds himself fighting side by side with his worst enemies -- Zura and her zombie armies, the Eidolon Lathi and her termite men -- against the slimy, many-tentacled moon-monsters.</font>
</font> July 2005: ICED ON ARAN Atop the Dreamlands' most majestic mountain is an unusual sculpture garden, featuring statues of the Dreamlands' legendary heroes. For generations insane artists have created and tended the glistening statues of ice. Each hero is represented by twin portraits -- perfectly matched except for the expressions of horror frozen into one of each pair! Seated on a chilly rock, David Hero is the mad sculptor's newest subject. He sees nothing to account for the fear and dread on the faces that surround him. Until he attempts to rise from his pedestal -- and discovers that the rock is not the only thing shrouded in ice! Trapped by black sorcery, David Hero has only one chance at escape.</font>
</font> October 2005: UNTITLED Final book in the set which collects the remainder of the series including some obscure novellas and short stories taking place in the Dreamlands! This final edition will also contain a special introduction by Brian Lumley containing story notes on each story in the series and a special A-Z concordance of the series by W. Paul Ganley.</font>

I'd love to get all of these as I've only read Hero of dreams so far... it's just £86 is more than I get for the moment in a week, also I could never consider getting the full set until if I was maybe well off. Never mind... oneday one will make its way to me possibly.

hell I'd love to buy these, but with everything else going on, I unfortunately can't put my life on hold for some books :( Oh well, you never know I might suddenly have loads of spare cash, but I doubt it!!!

Please note the amendment that was made under the $800.00 about credit card payments...

If you order the entire series you won't have to pay the full $800.00 upon ordering.

I've had to read these books as I do the paintings. I haven't been dissapointed. They're great. Done two paintings now. Three to go. Just started Mad Moon of Dreams. So the next one will be on the drawing board soon.

I am hoping all five will be finished in time for the con. So you guys will have advance viewing of them. Who knows there maybe something in the raffle. ;)

Silky, am posting you and Brian the proof of the 2nd painting this week.

Only just ordered the series a couple of weeks back. The first 2 books came today.
They're the first leather bound books in my small collection as well. Delirium Books have done a very nice job on them.

sideous, I think you know I collect Delirium books and i can tell you, you would not be disappoited.
I own books from many publishers and Delirium, by far produces the nicer books.
The first thing I noticed with my first was that for the money you get full novels, not novellas.
Your Dark Homage books are a good example of what a Delirium book looks like under the DJ, but only bigger

Oh, I also got my slipcase.

My Delirium collections starting to grow slowly.
Started collecting Brian Keene as well so when Delirium publishes, I'll be buying:D

Your right about the quality. They put some of the other publishers to shame.
