Review

Fascinating - just don't read it at bedtime. - The Observer

Curious, lively, humble, utterly genuine ... a remarkable debut. - Sunday Times

By writing this gruelling, honest book, Alice Vernon has done her small bit to try to puncture the power of nightmares. - Daily Mail

In a discourse fired by lively inquiry and personal anecdote, [Vernon] looks to art, literature and science to demonstrate the profound effect these eerie and surprisingly common nocturnal states have had on the human imagination. Fascinating - just don't read it at bedtime. - The Observer

Fascinating ... a rich, immersive study of not just nightmares but the full range of parasomnias - the strange sleep disorders that can afflict us. ... [Vernon] can really write. ... This book felt like an extended hand to me. It is curious, lively, humble, utterly genuine - and, if you're a sufferer too, wonderfully reassuring. It is a remarkable debut. - Sunday Times

A vivid history of sleep disorders ... a candid, intense look at what keeps people up at night. - Publishers Weekly
