The Darkening of the Light: or life is a dream

By the award-winning author of Philip K. Dick: Remembering Firebright, this novel explores the possibility that we live more than one life, in more than one time and place. And some of those places are fantastic. The Darkening of the Light represents a masterpiece of Gnostic fiction. "Clear!" the doctor shouted, and then came the shock. Again he shouted, "Clear!" and again the shock came. And yet a third time, the charm, "Clear!" and then the shock, as if Dr. Frankenstein were bringing the monster to life. The dead parts began to live, and the sinus rhythm settled into a regular pattern on the monitor, and the beeping became more regular and less frantic. Clearly the light had begun to darken, yet she lived. Unable to move, but seeing and hearing all those around her, she lay in the hospital bed while her faithful suitor sat in the chair and talked to her, or Mother sat reading aloud from the newspaper, even reading the want ads, but never the obituaries, for the thought of death must never enter this room. Tessa B. Dick has been writing stories, articles and poems since she was a freshman in high school. She holds a master's degree from Chapman University, where she taught English and Communications for 12 years before retiring to a small mountain community, where she devotes all her time and effort to writing. Her books are widely available online, and most of them can be ordered at brick-and-mortar book stores.
