Chinese paper lanterns hung from the ceiling above the sofa. A light hummed in the galley kitchen, as though the bulb might burn out at any moment. Octavian resisted the urge to check the time on his cell phone. Nikki would be doing sound check right now. He had hours before she went on stage. Plenty of time for whatever darkness lay ahead.
A door clicked softly open down the hall. The professor halted, letting his young girlfriend come to him. Viviane emerged from the shadowed hallway tentatively at first, but when she saw Octavian, her expression turned hopeful. Viviane let him pull her into a quick embrace but barely seemed aware of his kiss.
She wore a McGill sweatshirt and pajama pants and looked as if she hadn't showered in days. The dark circles under her eyes, visible despite the deep chocolate hue of her skin, suggested she hadn't slept in at least as long. Viviane smiled, and suddenly she didn't look so weary. But then the smile faded as she remembered what awaited them in the other room. I'm in Montreal for a few days anyway. Octavian always thought it was interesting when people referred to Nikki by her first and last name, but that was her public identity.
She wasn't a celebrity by any means, but to people who liked the kind of music she played, she was famous enough. And to them, she was Nikki Wydra. Names of famous people were like that; they held weight. And that was indeed how the professor had known Octavian would be in Montreal tonight and had tracked him down—through Nikki's Twitter page. Octavian hadn't seen Derek Tremblay in more than twenty years, but the professor knew what Octavian had View our feature on Christopher Golden's Waking Nightmares.

I do however have nothing but love for Mr. Golden and his great books.
King of Hell
I have yet to read a CG novel that I didn't like. He draws you in and keeps you reading from beginning to end. Waking Nightmares is a nightmare of book that doesn't seem to end no matter how many pages it feels like you've forced yourself to read.

Golden is pure evil as an author this time out; the first pages are terrific, but like a roach motel, by the time you realize you've been lured into a situation that isn't as good as it seemed, you're stuck. The rest of the book is absolutely horrible. Nothing much ever happens. There are lots of scenes of chaos and fighting, but the main characters barely do anything except walk in at the end of each situation and temporarily quell a problem.
There are countless passages and phrases in the text that tell us that the characters are sexually charged up Was Golden was dared by another author to see how many times he could repeat the same drudgery without his editor noticing? The last pages of this book are so monotonous that I found myself wondering if I was trapped in an alternate dimension where books kept repeating the same prose that had been on the previous page.
I read and loved every other book in the shadow saga by Golden, and many of his other books as well. I was thrilled when I discovered that this had been published.

Golden has built a huge cache of goodwill up over the years, so I'll give his Octavian sagas one more chance. This book was a huge misstep for Golden. Gehen Sie zu Amazon. Blood of the Four. Out of the Madhouse. Of Masques and Martyrs. The Map of Moments.
