Parasomnia

“Have you ever noticed that moment when the connection with reality breaks and you fall asleep? If you watch it, that moment is filled with real magic and a secret.” Do you sleep well? Fall asleep quickly and easily get up in the morning? Or do you toss and turn all night and then dream about a daytime sleep? 1883, England. Psychiatrist August Morgan arrives in the provincial town of Little Owsheen, whose residents suffer from insomnia. When and why did it begin—was there one cause, or is it something else, in the secrets the townspeople are hiding? And who is the mysterious Mr. Barrow, offering everyone healing? “Parasomnia” is a blend of mysticism and reality in the best traditions of Lovecraft, where the monster is much closer than you think—and it has no intention of staying hidden. This is a brisk detective investigation set in Victorian England: dark, frightening, and leaving no second chances. In the book, the dialogues are light, and many scenes are crafted for a future screen adaptation.
