Night Journey, Twilight Journey, Journey into Light

Though the first of these was Hugo Driver’s spectacularly successful and much beloved fantasy novel (written at the Shorelands literary colony), its two successors never came close to equaling it in popularity or merit. Half of this country’s assassins, serial killers, and mass murderers claimed to been influenced by secret messages contained within the pages of Night Journey. (The other half drew inspiration from an equally unlikely source, The Catcher in the Rye, or perhaps it was Franny and Zooey.) Rumors persist that the sequels were actually written by Daisy Chance, wife of the latterly disgraced President and owner of Chancel House, the publishing house enriched by Mr. Driver’s genius.
