A Nightmare in Oz: Founded on and Continuing the Famous Oz Stories by L. Frank Baums

by David Keyes, Jackson Smith (Illustrator)

Overview

For the countless years she and her friends have been residents of Oz, Dorothy Gale has never experienced dreams - bad or good. But now, a foreboding menace is stirring in the soil beneath them, and those nightly visions have returned, bringing with them a threat no one is prepared to face. What has inspired this surge of sleepy terrors? How does it know of the painful memories of the past? Now it is up to Dorothy and her friends, Trot and Betsy Bobbin, to unravel the mystery before they are ensnared by its menacing claws. "A Nightmare in Oz" is a modern journey through the familiar locales of Baum's fantasy world as the characters - some familiar, others new - are confronted by an ancient villain on a path of destruction. But the greater reality may lurk beyond, in the knowledge that Oz's great magics are eroding, allowing new threats to make their claim against the once-peaceful kingdom...

About the Author

David Keyes has been writing since he was a teenager. An avid follower of film for most of his adult life, he began reviewing movies in the emerging online format in the summer of 1998 (well before the notion of "blogging" was in fashion). He has kept with that tradition for over twenty years, and in 2014 took his writing to the physical book format with annual anthologies of his essays. Additional publications have followed, including his tome about bad films of the 21st century - aptly titled "Admit No One" - and additional ones are on the horizon.

In April 2020, he published first fiction novel, "A Nightmare in Oz," and followed it up with two sequels, "The Black Rainbow of Oz" and "Shadows Over Oz." A fourth title in the series is due in 2024.
