Nightmare Life is...


A story of gothic fantasy, a realm of magic, darkness, drama and dreams. James is a man trapped in his past, all that he has loved is lost. Consumed by grief, James is met by Laura an enchanting woman who seems to appear in his dreams, helping him to cope with his life and save him from his nightmares.


Enter Peasblossom, a skinny goth girl with an unusual obsession for things cute, morbid, and depressing. Parallel to James, Pease is in the mist of her depressing teenage years. Coping with cruel parents, cruel children, self disgust, unrequited love for James who does not even know she is alive, and a mysterious dead baby that seems to follow her around. Pease believes life is truly a nightmare.


When demons mysteriously appear and begin murdering innocent people, James uses a strange artifact given to him as a gift from Laura. The results are deadly and unusual.

BUT...

Though the stage is set and the plot may seem the typical comic book dribble all have read. This theater of macabre has much more than what I would allow you to see. Much more than either James or Pease could ever imagine.

In nightmares things are never as they seem.....

Realms of the real, of the dead, and of dreams will collide with the living, which will change everyone’s world forever.

Welcome to my world I've created,
welcome to my nightmare....
