What do you do with a dream that will not let go? Ricky Rafferty has one. It is soft around the edges but heavy in the chest. A love he can almost reach if he finds the right door or the wrong one. Psychedelic drugs help him slip through the cracks or maybe they are the reason he is stuck between sleep and waking in the first place.
DreaMT is ChadO’s second novel. It follows RoomMate, his first psychological thriller completed back in November 2024. RoomMate looked at real horror — the kind that hides in family walls and dark corners of memory. Readers did not get a safe escape. They got something sharp and uncomfortable. Some still carry it around like a bruise.
This time the edges feel softer but they sink deeper. DreaMT is part psychological thriller, part surreal slipstream. Think John Dies at the End but quieter. More like drifting through static trying to catch a memory before it burns up.
Ricky’s story is about wanting to go back. To find a home he is sure is waiting if he can just stay asleep long enough or wake up the right way.
About ChadO
Chad Olshavsky writes the way people confess things they do not say out loud. He has been telling stories for years on stage with a mic or on the page with a pen. Stand up comedy. Screenplays. Dark fiction that picks at old wounds.
RoomMate was his first novel. He wrote it the way some people dig up a grave. DreaMT came later when the noise in his head turned softer but no less stubborn.
Dreams have a way of asking questions no one wants to answer. Ricky Rafferty is looking for a woman he loved inside a dream that feels more solid than anything daylight can offer. The drugs help or they do not.
The story drifts. Sometimes it is clear. Sometimes it slides sideways. The pages blur the line between real and not real on purpose. That is the point.
The Release
The first copies go out in mid July. Order online and get one signed. ChadO writes an inscription in each copy. Something small to remind you this is yours now. Maybe something you do not expect.
If you missed RoomMate you can still find it. It is worth it if you want to see where this all started. The first glimpse into how ChadO stitches pain, dark humor, and old secrets into something you can hold.
