Book excerpt: The highly anticipated third novel from one of America's emerging writers. "3 Short Stories" is a testament to the thrilling power of dreams and nightmares. Looking like a book that would only exist within a dream, one is shocked to find dozens of full color photos of visionary, psychedelic art, inkblots, portraits, depictions of spirits, and accounts of shamanic trance practices. Beginning in prehistory, the author discusses the importance of dreams, astral travel, and mystical visions throughout human civilization. He then shifts to the present day and shares intimate and chilling paranormal experiences, and vivid dreams, from his real life.

The three stories are the centerpiece, and the second half of the book brings the psychic world onto paper where I tell some of my personal paranormal experiences. It's full of symbolism and repetition of cycles. It's a trip!!!""It's clear from the beginning that the reader is not in control of this book. It's clear that this is Mr. Shippey's world, and we're just living in it. The book feels like a nightmare that won't end. I didn't know whether to feel horrified, fascinated, curious, or thrilled. One thing is for sure, this book offers an e
