The Lovereading comment:
Fast-paced and terrifying The Stuff of Nightmares is about the demons lurking in ones past that come back to haunt. The reader is taken on a chilling journey as we follow schoolboy Kyle, whose terrible nightmares suddenly turn real and he is forced to face his fears. Malorie Blackman’s inspiration for the book was apparently from real nightmares that she has had in her lifetime. The book is very compelling in the creepy sense and even more so when read at nighttimes.
Synopsis

But when he gets on the train that is taking him and his class on a school trip, he has no idea how close to death he is going to come.

About The Author
Malorie Blackman had a variety of jobs before she became a full time writer and spent many years working as a Database Manager for Reuters travelling extensively within Europe and the United States.
After 82 rejection letters, her first novel, Not So Stupid!, was a selected title for the 1991 Feminist Book Fortnight, and Malorie participated in the first BBC TV Black Women’s Screenwriting Workshop in 1991. She has written a number of books for young readers including the Whizziwig series, which have been dramatised successfully for children’s television.
In her spare time, Malorie likes going to the cinema, the theatre and watching TV, enjoys playing computer and board games, and reads absolutely everything...except Westerns.
She lives with her husband and daughter in Kent along with a large collection of books, over 15,000 at the last count.
In the Queen’s Birthday Honours in 2008, it was announced that Malorie is to receive an OBE for her contribution to children’s literature.
Malorie was awarded the prestigious Eleanor Farjeon award in 2005.
