ROBERT ARDOIS-BONNOT A struggling artist who, as a result of some nameless compulsion, has produced a bizarre painting which he calls the Dream Landscape, a Surrealist masterpiece that has become a cause célèbre throughout Paris. What was the inspiration for the blasphemous, nightmare world depicted in Ardois-Bonnot's painting? How can it seem to change as one views it, its surface somehow transforming itself, gradually revealing the apparent outlines of a horrible underwater city? And why does it produce such hideous dreams in all who look upon it? Ensnared by its mysteries, haunted by its nightmares, Haywood and Eleanor encounter cosmic wonders and mind-blasting horrors beyond imagining as they delve into the fathomless enigma of the Dream Landscape.
