Sobre IBD

By turns wistful, haunting and macabre, ‘The Sleep Corporation’ is a major collection of thirty-one stories by Douglas Thompson, a self-proclaimed ‘Glasgow Surrealist’ and one of the most original and individual voices to have emerged in the field of British speculative and dark fiction over the last fifteen years. “Thompson is a short story writer and novelist of almost unparalleled skill. This is an extraordinarily gifted writer whose lines are infused with poetry” Charles Packer - Sci Fi Online
