Rumi’s Dream is a strange little short story I wrote in a hotel room in Sydney, Australia, very early one morning (or over several mornings, i think), while being in that odd jet-lagged wide-awake-at-the-wrong-time state of slight delirium.

It’s about a girl called Rumi who gets eaten by a bear on the first page (very minor spoilers!), but that’s not the end. A few nights later the bear begins to dream a dream that it’s fairly sure isn’t its own dream, and so the story unfolds from there.

It’s an odd little thing, and I thought it might make a nice little limited edition thingie, but the story by itself needed a little extra hit of something to make it even odder, and so I asked world famous illustrator Alexis Deacon if he’d be interested in drawing some pictures to go with it, and he said yes.

And so, here, in a limited run of 200 copies is Rumi’s Dream, the newest, oddest and only little story by Harrold & Deacon, fresh off the press ready to drop into your letterbox.

It’s a dainty 48 page A6-ish book (pocket-sized) available exclusively from me here.
