Black Benjamin: England's Foremost Investigative Exorcist

"When a man enters the Dream, he does so at his own peril. To walk there, a part of his consciousness must cleave away from his flesh and when it does so, there is a chance it will be swallowed by the world of dreams. If that happens, he will never be content with the ordinary world again. He will become feverish, obsessed with dreams, and unable to control his desire to drink more deeply of that intoxicating substance which makes up the well of mankind’s unconscious."

Black Benjamin is a left-field look at ambivalence, disguised as a story about a man (an investigative exorcist to be exact) who goes to a town near London to clear up the small matter of a series of brutal murders by an unknown, undead entity.

The story falls into the literary realm of 'Dreampunk' - a fledgling genre of post-modern, dystopian fiction that concentrates on the alchemical power of dreams and the exploration of 'Countercultures'. Think Carl Jung meets Steampunk.
