With his own little boy the prime target. Douglas Borton- Dreamhouse- 1989 Onyx Paperbac. It just wasn't as good as the other two I've read. Dreamhouse (1989) Deathsong (1989) Kane (1990) Shadow Dance (1991) Shiver (1992). Douglas Borton- Dreamhouse- 1989 Onyx Paperback - Out of Print First Edition eBay. I did enjoy it - it read like a bad 80s horror movie, which is just good fun. : Dreamhouse (9780451401212) by Borton, Douglas and a great selection of similar New, Used and Collectible Books available now at great prices. Despite the good plot and occasional good descriptions, this was my least favorite novel so far by Borton. I know I tend to reference this a lot, but the Lovecraft influence is obvious in passages (like the 'gibbering' in the quote above), as well as the architecture of the house (can you say "Dreams in the Witchhouse"?). This book had a lot of great descriptions. Somehow the house begins to channel Matthew's dreams into nightmares - nightmares which begin to come true for the people in the town. The house has mad, impossible architecture, such as a fireplace which looks like it was dropped into place from a height, angled windows and doors, and a hallway which leads nowhere and dead ends with the walls, ceiling and floor coming to a point. A scriptwriter for horror movies, Matthew Wilde rents a house in a rural town and brings his family there for a summer getaway. My third book by Douglas Borton, Dreamhouse has a pretty good idea for a plot.
