The Terrible Dream Eater

An original illustration by David White

The Terrible Dream Eater by David White plunges viewers into the unsettling territory between sleep and nightmare.

    Graveyard Hymns

    The graveyard breathed beneath the rain,a choir stitched from loss and pain.The headstones stood like tired teeth,guarding all the dead beneath.
