The seventeen stories in Somnambulant Hearts reflect those liminal spaces of the 'in-between' where reality playfully shifts between expectation and understanding. Embodying elements of the uncanny, psychogeography, and slipstream, these speculative stories exist within the interstices of genre, on the borderline where lives encounter a twist of the disconnect and are never the same again; a space in which existence is a construct created by ourselves, yet so easily undone when it is inhabited by others.
