The Nightmare Trilogy

The Nightmare Trilogy was a Finalist in Science Fiction in the 2009 Next Generation Indie Book Awards. The Nightmare Trilogy by Larry Ashford tells three extraordinary stories that push the boundaries of reality and unhinge the doors of perception. In Aliens, the "aliens" have returned. After being gone for so many ages, they come back to see what time has wrought. But, are they back to build a heaven on Earth-or a Hell? In Neuron Dreams, who hasn't had a recurring nightmare? But, some dreams are better left alone, or else like sleeping dogs, they may wake up angry with very sharp teeth. And then, in the last story, there are the mirrors; mere looking glasses, portals to other dimensions, or something much more sinister? Be careful when you look into the mirror, you may not like what you see. Ashford's The Nightmare Trilogy raises the hairs on the back of your neck and should be read with the lights on; it shines a light into places where light is not welcome and entertains every step of the way.

4Break that mirror please....  Aug 04, 2009
By Shane Bernskoetter
I work with Larry and picked up a copy of his book and just finished reading it. He's put together a trio of disturbing stories here. The alien and dream short stories are thought provoking and well done, but I must say the Mirrors story was my favorite - it gave me the willies. I'm in the process of looking for a cover to put over my bedroom mirror... Thanks Larry for making me feel like a 8 year old kid in a dark basement!

5What a great read!  Jul 06, 2009

4Saving the best for last  Mar 17, 2009
By T. Guebert
The author's first story "Aliens?" is interesting and entertaining with an intriguing twist.The second, "Neuron Dreams" is the shortest, yet still packs a punch. The best is saved for last. "Mirrors" is an exciting, fast paced story that will be difficult for any reader to set aside. "Mirrors" is very well written, and reminds me of the best of Dean Koontz.

4Aptly Titled  Feb 08, 2009
By Rhonda L. Mossengren
I haven't read much science fiction, but found this to be an enjoyable read. One could get hooked on the unexpected turns that each story takes. My favorite of the three stories is "Mirrors". Let's ratchet up the excitement and make this into a movie.

4Nightmare Trilogy is a Great Ride!  Jan 12, 2009
By John Corrao
In the true genre of the masters like Stephen King and Dean Koonts, Larry Ashford captures the imagination with three very intriguing peeks and an alternative reality.
Aliens? explores the origin of man and exposes how life can be nothing more than a cyclical ride of the whimsical and capricious nature of time and destiny. The scenario presented is both very plausible and quite disturbing.
Dreams, touches on the very present alter ego we all possess in our dream life. Who are we? Where are we really from and where are we going? Do we really know our own past or has our mind fooled us all along? Here Mr. Ashford takes full advantage of our paranoia of what dreams mean or can mean.
Finally, his best piece, Mirrors takes the reader on a wild ride through time and space and the imagination of the occult. Our protagonist is thrown in a world he knows very little about and soon finds out how very helpless he really his and that what life pretends to be is not we perceive it to be. Mirrors is very entertaining and would make an excellent movie. It has all the twists and turns that most moviegoers love and the intrigue that true mystery aficionados crave.

A must read!
