Eyes of Sleeping Children by D.A. Butcher
4.0
Synopsis: Louis Lockhart and his family take shelter from the worst storm to ever hit Kansas. Jesse begs his father to not let the Sandman get him. That night, Jesse vanishes from their home. As Bonnie, Jesse's mother, sinks into a pill-induced sleep, Louis must try to find Jesse while holding his family together.
The first part of this book was a slow-burner and I struggled with the narrative style. But soon I found myself despairing at the things Louis was saying and doing, and before I knew it I was descending into madness right along with him.
This is a story of raw human psychology, and the horror that can come when a man tries so hard to protect his family that he loses himself entirely. A brilliant debut from D.A Butcher.
