4.0 out of 5 stars Saxophone Dreams, 2 May 2008
By dogbarkssome (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
As the collpase of Communism leads to revolutionary changes in Eastern Europe, a disparate group of jazz musicians find themselves gifted with the ability to journey through a dreamlike continent haunted by the surrealist imagery of painter Paul Delvaux.

Nicholas Royle's second novel continues themes familiar from his debut, with a European travelogue rendered into a bizarre hallucinatory dreamscape, though with it's wider scale and cast of characters 'Saxophone Dreams' lacks the emotional impact of 'Counterparts'. Reading like the novelisation of an unmade David Lynch film, this is a profoundly strange story, and one that touches on the horror genre when the undead victims of Communist regimes rise from the grave to steal organs from the living for Western transplant operations.

Dreamy, strange, and occasionally frustrating, 'Saxophone Dreams' is a decidedly different horror novel.

3.5 out of 5
