Slumberland
By Derra Sabo
Genre: Nonfiction
About the Book
How do you dream? Are your dreams in color or
black 'n white? Do they feel surreal or all too real? Well, I'd like to
introduce you to my little slice of bittersweet. These subconscious woods hold
every fear and my anxieties masked as wolves. Nightmares that play on a
loop for weeks, even months at a time. Symptoms of waking in cold sweats and
shaking. The only moments of peace are found in the sporadically studded dreams
that happen every now and again. These woods house every past demon as well as
certain past versions of who I once was. This place is worse than death, yet it
inspires. So......Before my alarm goes off, before I take the last train out of
here, I take one last glance back, one last glance at all of the Polaroids,
pinned to every tree branch, Polaroids of every dream and nightmare that have
stolen my nights since '95......These dreams...these woods...this place...it's
my upside-down. This is my Slumberland...
My Review
Derra captured my attention with her diary-style recollections of some dreams she's experienced over the past few decades. She takes the reader on a ride through lush environments and dreamy scenes, as well the dark realms that we hesitate to navigate. It's clear that music is a big influence on her, and I love that!
This book is perfect for nonfiction lovers who enjoy the unusual, and anyone who has an appreciation for the rawness and grittiness that the nighttime brings.
About the Author
My name is Derra Sabo. I am California born and raised. I spend
my days writing, sipping on coffee and listening to music. When I'm not busy
typing away, I love spending time with my family and friends. Days spent at the
beach ended by burgers at In-N-Out. Growing up I wanted to become a fashion
designer/drummer, but somewhere along the way writing grabbed ahold of me and
I've never looked back. Over the years writing has aided in healing from my
past. Being born and living with a rare disorder led to being bullied
throughout life as well as surgeries growing up. Writing and music are my
sanity.
