Lost in the Waking Well

By John Notlad

Fantasy and psychological drama collide in this new, mind-twisting novella from John Notlad.
A tale perfect for readers of Gaiman, Clarke, and tea leaves. Inspired by a dream, Lost in the Waking Well induces that liminal feeling of D?j? vu that exists between waking and dreaming states of consciousness. Follow Allen through his mind as he tries to get back to the woman he remembers from a dream.

From the back cover:

Dreams are made of memories, as is waking life. Who decides which world is real?

Clara- the girl of Allen's dreams. She was his world in that other life. . . The one before he awoke from his coma.

Now he has Elizabeth, a wife he has no memory of, and Goose, a daughter he no longer recognizes. Despite their love for him and the man he used to be, Allen's only desire is to return to the life he had before he awoke.

With the help of a local research doctor and a cocktail of drugs, Allen returns to the world of his dreams in search of the woman he loves. But dreams can be fickle. Answers are carefully guarded. And for his broken mind, the line between fantasy and reality grows blurrier with each excursion.
