Parasomnia: The Novelization
Danny Sloan is barely holding his waking life together. An insomniac record-store clerk haunted by childhood fears and adult failures, Danny stumbles into the neuropsychiatric wing of Hamilton-Hart Hospital and discovers Laura Baxter, a beautiful young woman trapped in a rare parasomniac state. Laura sleeps through her life, waking only in fragments, drifting between a sterile hospital room and a dreamworld that is no longer safe.
Because something has entered her dreams.
In Laura's collapsing dreamscape, where polished mirrors rotate through ash-dark skies and something ancient stalks her through a withered forest, an entity waits. It knows her name. It knows her fears.
And it is learning how to cross over.
As Danny becomes obsessed with the girl who may never fully wake, the boundary between sleep and consciousness begins to erode.
From screenwriter William Malone and novelist Mike Watt comes a chilling story, reminding us that some nightmares do not end when you wake.
