Daily Nightmares of a Daydreamer is a collection of thirteen horror and sci-fi stories. While not connected, each tells a different tale of odd predicaments and horrifying situations in which the main protagonists are trapped. "The Perfect Fertilizer": Aboard Humanity's Last Hope, Skipper and his small crew are tasked with cultivating a miracle plant that could restore Earth's dying ecosystems. When they discover a way to speed up their progress, the solution seems almost too good to be true. But the cost of perfection may be far greater than they ever imagined. "The Smudge" - Greg's otherwise normal office life spirals out of control when a stubborn smudge on his wall starts to grow. No matter what he tries, the dark mark refuses to fade and begins to take on a life of its own. As Greg's attempts to cover it up fail, he is forced to confront the disturbing truth behind the ever-expanding darkness. "Ya Te Veo": Emilia and Carlos travel deep into the Amazon, hoping a change of scenery can save their failing relationship. But when their guide leads them to a path that promises healing and beauty, they soon find themselves face to face with something ancient and terrifying. In the heart of the jungle, they learn the true meaning of "Ya Te Veo"—I see you. "You Will Be": John thought he could get away with it—just a simple note that read "I'm sorry" after a late-night hit-and-run with a parked car. No one saw him, and no harm done, right? But when he wakes up the next morning to find a message written in blood on his doorstep that reads, "You will be," he realizes someone knows what he did. As strange and terrifying events begin to unravel his life, John finds himself in a waking nightmare, and the person—or thing—he wronged is coming for him. "The Shadow": An artist is haunted by a creeping shadow that lurks just out of sight, disrupting her once peaceful life. What begins as a minor distraction quickly becomes an obsession as the shadow takes on a more sinister role in her world. Is it all in her head, or is something much darker at play? "Not Your Average Ghost Story": The Marshalls, a family of seasoned ghost hunters, arrive in the small town of Ravensbrook to investigate a mansion rumored to be plagued by a violent poltergeist. But what they uncover is far more than just restless spirits. "Rubberneckers": At Arkenridge College, students have begun whispering about strange figures on campus known as "Rubberneckers." Jenna, Marcus, and Lila stay behind one weekend to finish a project, only to encounter the eerie beings firsthand. These twisted figures, always facing away but somehow watching, stalk the students through the darkened campus. As the trio tries to escape, they realize there is no outrunning the Rubberneckers. "Hungry": After several late shifts at the hospital, Joan starts noticing strange happenings in her garage, coinciding with her son Stevie's talk of a new "friend" named Hungry. As the nights go on, the unsettling occurrences escalate, and Joan realizes that something far more terrifying than a raccoon may be lurking in her home. "Cleaners": James and Clara are part of a secretive government team tasked with cleaning up paranormal messes that the public can never know about. When they arrive at their latest assignment—a house with a disturbing history—they quickly realize that something is very wrong. The deeper they dig, the more it becomes clear: not every mess can be cleaned. + MORE!!!
