The Dreamlands series by Brian Lumley is a compact three-book run, with the first two titles — Hero of Dreams and Ship of Dreams — both published in 1986, followed by Mad Moon of Dreams / Second Visit in 1987. The series sits within the Fiction genre and draws on the dream-world tradition associated with that strain of fantasy and weird fiction.

All three books were published in quick succession, with the entire series completed within about a year. The combined title of the third entry, Mad Moon of Dreams / Second Visit, suggests it may collect or pair two related works. Readers interested in Brian Lumley’s Dreamlands fiction can also look at the separate Dreamlands Collections volume, Iced on Aran and Other Dream Quests (1990), which extends the same territory in shorter-form work.
