Sweet Dreams Are Made of Teeth

De: Richard Roberts

Narrado por: Henry Hanson

Have you ever had the nightmare of being chased by a beast?

Then you’ve met Fang.

He’ll be the first to admit that he’s a very simple nightmare. All he knows is hunting your dreams and dragging them into the Dark.

He’s not ready for his life to get complicated. He’s not ready to be dragged into his best friend’s schemes to make dreams so terrifying they break people. He’s not ready to love, or to be loved, or to meet someone who makes him happy.

He’s definitely not ready for those to be three different girls.

He’s not ready to grow up.

When he does, one thing will stay the same. He’ll stay an artist, and he’ll paint your dreams with fear until they’re beautiful.

Wonderful World-building and amazing characters

This story builds an amazing world and populates it with fascinating characters. I love Fang and I loved watching him grow and change over the course of the book. The glimpse of the real world at the end is slightly confusing, but maybe I just need to reread it to make sense of it all. I highly recommend this book.
