Blurbs:
“Dark, witty, and wicked. Aegri Somnia will keep you awake for many nights.”
—MM Buckner, Philip K. Dick Award-winning author of War Surf, Neurolink, Watermind, and Hyperthought

Reviews:
“Every story in this anthology stands out as a great work of fiction that each author had poured his or her blood, sweat and tears into its creation. With the outstanding line-up of rich atmospheric tales, Aegri Somnia is an anthology that is sure to capture each and every reader long after the final page is turned. I highly recommend picking up a copy of Aegri Somnia and losing yourself within the nightmares contained within each well imagined page.”
