Description

Check out Cam's latest novel / audio drama here!

Rachel Cain’s ‘Somnium’ is a triumph of indie horror filmmaking and sheer creative willpower, but it’s also the most provocative and fascinating exploration of dreams that we’ve ever seen from the genre. In this episode, we’re deep diving into metaphorical dreams, literal dreams, and all the nightmarish ways in which they interact. We’re talking symbolic monsters, ambiguous endings, and class consciousness — with just a touch of Faustus thrown in for good measure.
