Poet Anderson ...of Nightmares is Tom DeLonge's first novel, written in collaboration with New York Times bestselling author Suzanne Young. The novel was published in October 2015 by To the Stars. It is the first book of the upcoming Poet Anderson trilogy.[1]
Jonas Anderson and his older brother Alan are Lucid Dreamers. But after a car accident lands Alan in a coma, Jonas sets out into the Dream World in an attempt to find his brother and wake him up. What he discovers instead is an entire shared consciousness where fear comes to life as a snarling beast called a Night Terror, and a creature named REM is bent on destruction and misery, devouring the souls of the strongest dreamers. With the help of a Dream Walker—a guardian of the dreamscape, Jonas must face his fears, save his brother, and become who he was always meant to be: Poet Anderson.
