Dreamers by Sarah R. Suleski

Life is but a dream... 

Dreamers screen capture

To sleep, perchance to dream . . . or wake again in a different world.

This is the dual life of Muse, Love, and other Immortals like them. Split between two lives in two worlds, they never sleep, never dream, and never die. In one life they walk among us, unknown, in the other, they are worshiped as gods.

But they are not immune to the troubles of life — love, loneliness, loss, and the eternal question of where they came from and what their purpose is.

Dreamers is a quiet story, softly lilting from place to place, person to person, character to character. 

It follows the story of Muse who never sleeps, but is in either our world or in the immortal world.  Sometimes her action or thoughts reminds my own troubles as a writer, how my own muse is distant, wandering. 

But mostly, I think, the story is about bits and pieces of life.  And I love that, I really do.  Sometimes life is amazing and beautiful and crazy weird, and sometimes life is ok, sometimes it’s just downright sad.

And I think Dreamers has a little bit of everything.

Certainly a character-driven piece.

When I first read this story it was before I set my chapter limits so for this, I kept reading until the end (at the time 9 or 10 chapters) mainly because I was hoping for something to happen.  While I really do like Sarah’s writing, I think this is one of the weaker pieces she has that I’ve read.

Some beautiful writing

Editor: Chris Poirier

Dreamers is exactly my kind of story—quiet, thoughtful, full of loneliness and longing; a romance, in a way, but more about the myriad ways damaged people fight off the intimacy they so desperately want, than it is about warm and fuzzy romantic love.

Dreamers follows Muse, a young immortal who lives [more . . .]
