Franklyn Searight is the son of Richard F. Searight, Weird Tales author and correspondent of H. P. Lovecraft. Although the elder Searight invented the evocative Eltdown Shards, occasionally employed by Lovecraft himself, he made no great effort to carry on the Cthulhu Mythos tradition. Happily, the younger Searight does! Enthusiasts have been delighted with Frankyn Searight's Innsmouth stories since the mid-seventies, but never before have all of these tales been drawn together. Also included in this long overdue single-author collection is his unpublished Mythos novel, Lair of the Dreamer, along with his posthumous collaboration with his father, "The Mists of Death."

Venturing further into this dream realm fantasy, Tom met with extraordinary creatures: winged lions trailing stardust and sprites that danced with a lightness that filled the air with melodic laughter. However, amid the wonder, a shadow loomed. The ethereal Dream Keepers, guardians of this realm, whispered of a menace – The Dream Thief. This entity, a sinister spectre born from the abyss of forgotten nightmares, sought to harness the innocent dreams of children for dark purposes. It was on a day, bathed in the serene light of the afternoon sun, that Tom's adventure took a pivotal turn. Drawn to a secluded corner of the library, he discovered a tome unlike any other, hidden away from the passage of time.

As Tom delved into the pages of The Dreamer's Code, he uncovered a prophecy woven into the very essence of dreams. This ancient lore revealed a time when dreams were not mere figments of imagination but powerful forces capable of moulding reality itself. According to the prophecy, a chosen Dreamer would arise to venture deep into the heart of the Dream Realm, challenging the darkness that threatened to unbalance the world of dreams and wakefulness. Tom's journey through the dream thieves and keepers, amidst the backdrop of a talking animals fantasy, sets the stage for an epic quest to safeguard the innocence of dreams and uphold the delicate harmony of this enchanting dreamscape.

For sixty years, Renfro Valley has highlighted some of the biggest and most influential names in country and folk music. The show began in the 1930s as a combination radio broadcast and stage performance, and today it has grown into an array of shows and headliner concerts featuring old-time country music, country gospel, modern country, bluegrass, and comedy acts. John Lair, the ambitious and deeply committed founder of Renfro Valley, was fascinated with the past. He created the Renfro Valley Barn Dance to give radio listeners the experience of an old-fashioned rural hoe-down. He resisted the encroachment of popular "cowboy songs" and kept the stage and the airwaves filled with authentic Kentucky mountain music. Lair's vision struck a chord with music fans: on some Saturday nights, more than ten thousand people arrived at Renfro Valley and performances went on all night to accommodate the audiences. Pete Stamper, a forty-seven year veteran of Renfro Valley, traces the show's history from its early radio days in Cincinnati and Chicago, through the glory years in the 1940s, the lean times in the 1960s when rock and roll seemed to take over the music scene, to its renewed popularity in the 1990s. Once known as "the valley where time stands still," Renfro Valley has updated its programming while maintaining the feel of the folk culture on which it was founded. Red Foley, the Coon Creek Girls, Slim Miller, Pee Wee King, Old Joe Clark, and a host of other musicians and performers helped shape the development of Renfro Valley. Stamper describes the role of the Valley in the commercial history of country music and highlights John Lair's invaluable contribution to country music as a talent scout, businessman, and collector of traditional music of the South.
