Dream Theater has announced a graphic novel accompaniment to their latest album, Parasomnia.

The book, which will be published by Z2 Comics, brings the world of Parasomnia to the page as it "expands on the exploration of just how thin the line is between the waking world and the world of dreams."

"It's been so awesome getting to work with the Z2 Comics team on this epic collaboration," says guitarist John Petrucci. "Having the opportunity to explore alternative interpretations of the songs on Parasomnia through the eyes of so many talented artists has been truly inspirational."

"The unique storytelling talents of all the writers as well as the incredible artwork that reflects so many different styles of graphic artistry was just amazing to witness," Petrucci continues. "I think fans of this media, our DT community and just anyone who appreciates stunning displays of human creativity will really enjoy this dark and sometimes twisted journey through the realm of Parasomnia!"
