I really got into this story and throughout I kept thinking to myself 'yes, there's probably going to be a lot of books like this now where authors use the COVID pandemic as inspiration', it was only when I finished I saw the publishing date was 2019..! A town gets infected by an unknown virus that causes its victims to fall into a deep, unwakeable sleep. My favourite concept of this book was prodding into the theory that time is on another tangent in dreams and exploring the depth of unconsciousness.
