About this series
What should you expect to see inside of Volume One of Amphetamine Daydreams (now in full technicolor)!?
A man is tortured by a noise that only he can hear. An addict must create the perfect painting to prevent the world from ending. A group of young band mates have a very bad trip. An undercover reporter discovers a ghostly voice on a recording.
This Volume of Amphetamine Daydreams contains 9 short stories and the novelettes "A Voice in the Static" & "Lucy in the Sky with Demons." The genres range from science fiction, to historical fantasy, and (of course) a heaping helping of good ol' horror and suspense.
It comes with almost a dozen detailed illustrations in full color. (Note: in the eBook version of Amphetamine Daydreams: Volume One, please see the note at the beginning and end of the book to view the illustrations in full color online. No illustrations are present in the eBook)
Last but not least, Amphetamine Daydreams Volume One comes with a QR code that leads to an additional short story, told in the format of "Interactive Fiction" (or a text-based adventure game), that anyone can read/play completely for free, either on their phone or on a computer!
Praise of Amphetamine Daydreams:
"'Amphetamine Day Dreams' is a well-crafted collection of stories, each unique in its own way. The best way I can describe the book is, imagine waking up, soaked in sweat, from a hellish fever dream or drug induced hazy nightmare, these stories are those nightmares." - Mariah Whitehouse
"I could not read through the stories in Amphetamine Day Dreams fast enough. DeFrench has a talent for capturing the inner turmoil of characters whether they are recovering addicts, plotting a murder, or trying to determine if something they see in a dream is real or not...If I were to compare him with well-known names, I'd put him in the same realm as H.P. Lovecraft and Neil Gaiman. His stories fall into that magical blend of reality and fantasy, but the way he portrays the things happening to his characters is very psychological." - Jessica Leibe
"Great collection of short stories by a new-to-me author! While they all had a bit (or in some cases alot) of the spook factor I love in a story, there was so much variety here.
While I loved every story without exception (four and five stars only here folks) here are my top three:
The Tapestry of Time. This one was more on the sci-fi side and super clever. Very timey wimey ?
To Never Say Goodbye. This has a very interesting and believable concept. Could this happen someday? Yup. I may have shed a tear reading this one.
My absolute favourite story though is Lucy in the Sky with Demons. This one brought the scares, the spooks, and the heebie jeebies. It's dark and twisted and has in my opinion the best line in the entire collection." - Natasha Pei
"I loved the journey Defrench takes us on. I liked how these stories were being told & I loved how I didn't know the way they were headed most of the time! This is a variation of different beautiful created stories & I love all of them. Reading through you feel like you're actually in the stories, this is not often done well & I love the feeling of getting lost within the characters like I did in this one! ...If you enjoy stories with a splash of bizarre, a little darkness & often chilling vibes, then this is a good pick for you." - Instagram user @samsdarkreads
