The Edge of Sleep by Willie Block, Jake Emanuel
3.0
THE EDGE OF SLEEP
Jake Emanuel, Willie Block, and Jason Gurley
This book reads like a nightmare.
THE EDGE OF SLEEP stars Dave. Dave is a night watchman with sleeping issues who often goes days without sleeping. He has night terrors and nightmares and that’s just the beginning of where his trouble with sleep starts.
He has recurrent dreams of monsters who star in them like actors. He is well aquatinted with fear.
This book might not be for you. At times it is difficult to understand and the chapters move in and out of vignettes without a pattern or real direction. It’s disorienting.
A little like a bad dream.
I lost count of the characters. I lost track of names. The storyline is somewhat easy to follow once you let go of any structure you had in mind prior to reading.
The delight in the reading experience was living in that liminal space between the nightmares of our reality and the reality of our nightmares. It felt like experiencing a stream of unconsciousness. Are you ready?
Thanks to Netgalley, St. Martin's Press, and Macmillan Audio for the advanced copies!
