A Night of Strange Dreams

From dusk through to dawn, A Night of Strange Dreams travels across thirteen centuries, moving through darkness toward an unlikely light. Through myth and monsters, history and folklore, the ancient and the uncomfortably modern. Each dream stranger than the last.

Like all the best dreams, the darkness comes at a price.
