About

Welcome to the collective blog for everything related to a series called ‘The Sleep of Reason’, formerly known as Atrum Somnium Terra (Dark Dream Earth). It is a series of stories told within various formats; experiments with prose in both third and first persons, visual and graphic novels, artwork and computer games. Most stories feature different arcs, but all will culminate with time.

 

The new title of the series claims its name from the etching by Francisco Goya. For those who know of the piece, they will be aware that its true title is in fact ‘The Sleep of Reason produces Monsters’. I felt that using a fragment of this title reflected the broken nature of the series as well as the saying inflecting on the themes and concepts covered. When reason sleeps, monsters awake- and the struggle between comprehension and insanity is one frequently touched upon.

My goal for this blog is to update at least once a fortnight, preferably on a Thursday. I’ll slowly add what complete content already exists before I beginning adding new stuff.

Right now, my main goal is to begin uploading Reaper’s chapters in order to encourage myself to continue.

The Sleep of Reason is very character focused, so if you’ve found yourself here check the Tags for character names.
