After becoming the suspect in the murder of a young prostitute, Deputy Sam Hardy is "vanished" to a temporary post as the sole police officer in Angels and Hope, an idyllic town located in the middle of the desert, miles from any other sign of life. Hardy soon learns that Angels and Hope was constructed as a company town to support a magnificent amusement park--one to rival Disneyland--known as Captain Clive's Dreamworld. When he arrives, however, Hardy notices some strange happenings. The park is essentially empty of customers. None of the townsfolk ever seem to sleep. And girls seem to be going missing with no plausible explanation. As Hardy begins investigating, his own past is drawn into question by the people in town, and he finds himself becoming more and more isolated. Soon his phone line mysteriously goes dead. His car's tires get slashed. And he is being watched constantly by neighbors. The truth--about the town and himself--will lead him to understand that there's no such thing as a clean escape. Straddling the line between genre fiction and something more bizarre, Captain Clive's Dreamworld is a terrifying vision of the collapse of the American mythos.
Jon Bassoff was born in 1974 in New York City, and currently lives in a ghost town somewhere in Colorado. His mountain gothic novel, Corrosion, was called "startlingly original and unsettling" by Tom Piccirilli, a four-time winner of the Bram Stoker Award, and won the DarkFuse Reader's Choice Award for best novel. His surrealistic follow-up, Factory Town, was called "A hallucinatory descent into an urban hell" by Bram Stoker award-winning author Ramsey Campbell.
