A lump came to Dr Davenport’s throat as the blonde’s robe fell open revealing her tantalising figure. Did this beautiful creature only have one thing in mind?

For Jonathan Davenport, a married scientist engaged in a mould-breaking project, the dream rapidly becomes a nightmare. Tracey is found dead, brutally stabbed, and images of the murder appear on the tape of Dr Davenport's experiments.

Immediately he is the prime suspect in a bizarre and horrifying mystery where dreams become reality and videotape records scenes that never took place – or did they?

Read Robert Wassell’s ‘REM’ and discover the ultimate horror awaiting a scientist who finds, like Dr Frankenstein, that his work has a life of its own....

Well that was the blurb on the back of the book, and what a book it was.  Started in about 1994 and finished after numerous breaks in 1997 and subsequently published by Minerva Press. 

The book sold quite a few copies, it made money and it received favourable reviews.

It was last being proposed as an idea for a film although the demise of Minerva effectively halted the progress at the time and has since not been revisited.

Its such a shame that Minerva Press ended up getting such a bad reputation and had to go into liquidation, who knows that may have become of it.
