The Other Side of the Night

By K Kishmot

A Dream Kit to make the things you want to come true come true...

Jack is a young 20-something out of work in the London of the mid-90s. His girlfriend has left him and he has been sacked from work. All his friends are doing OK.

Then he meets Rogue who he was at school with. Though a good guy who helps Jack out, Rogue is also a drug dealer.

Jack starts to use the Dream Kit and also to be part of Rogue's circle of friends. Dream and reality slip and slide into each other until a nightmare is unleashed.

The BBC compared this story to Trainspotting and therefore rejected it. It is actually more like a darker and more socially realistic Jumanji with hints of dream-reality stories like Fassbinder's World on a Wire and Nolan's Inception.

It was bounded by its low-budget constraints but its portrait of a time in London when mobile phones were hardly present holds great fascination.

K Kishmot

K.Kishmot was born in Tehran somewhere in the late nineteen sixties or early seventies. He is British and Iranian, half and half. For a long time he lived in London. He has written a number of screenplays and made short films. He has also written songs. Ghosts Haunt Aftermaths is Kishmot's second novel. It was finished ostensibly in 2001 but Ghosts Haunt Aftermaths is only now nearly ready. Kishmot abandoned his third novel, To Find Love You Must Climb a Thornbush of Roses but around the same time he was creating a children's story. Kishmot's first novel Ten Days to Remus was written when he was sixteen and was a work of science-fiction. Kishmot is at work on his fourth novel, about the culture of billionaires and humanity's love-hate relationship with war. He is writing a new children's book and is planning to get back to film. Kishmot is again also writing screenplays and working on a few electronic ambient pieces of music.
