A decadent rock star. A deeply religious radio host. A disgraced scientist. And a teenage girl who may be the world\u2019s last hope. From the mind of Chuck Wendig comes \u201ca magnum opus . . . a story about survival that\u2019s not just about you and me, but all of us, together\u201d (Kirkus Reviews<\/i>,\u00a0<\/i>starred review).<\/b><\/p>\n
NOMINATED FOR THE BRAM STOKER AWARD AND THE LOCUS<\/b><\/p>\n
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY\u00a0The Washington Post\u00a0<\/i>\u2022 NPR \u2022\u00a0The Guardian<\/i>\u00a0\u2022\u00a0Kirkus Reviews\u00a0<\/i>\u2022\u00a0Publishers Weekly\u00a0<\/i>\u2022\u00a0Library Journal\u00a0<\/i>\u2022\u00a0Polygon<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
Shana wakes up one morning to discover her little sister in the grip of a strange malady. She appears to be sleepwalking. She cannot talk and cannot be woken up. And she is heading with inexorable determination to a destination that only she knows. But Shana and her sister are not alone. Soon they are joined by a flock of sleepwalkers from across America, on the same mysterious journey. And like Shana, there are other \u201cshepherds\u201d who follow the flock to protect their friends and family on the long dark road ahead.<\/p>\n
For as the sleepwalking phenomenon awakens terror and violence in America, the real danger may not be the epidemic but the fear of it. With society collapsing all around them\u2014and an ultraviolent militia threatening to exterminate them\u2014the fate of the sleepwalkers depends on unraveling the mystery behind the epidemic. The terrifying secret will either tear the nation apart\u2014or bring the survivors together to remake a shattered world.<\/p>\n

Psst. PSST. If you were looking to get hold of a big-ass bison bludgeoner of a book but didn’t want the actual physical book with which to bludgeon bisons*, then I note that the book is available on Kindle today for a mere TWO BUCKS and NINETY-NINE PENNIES, except these are digital pennies, because real pennies are apparently in shortage. But at the very least, it’s an 800 page book, so you’re getting some narrative bang for your electronic buck. Epic sci-fi horror! Warning: may contain pandemic and also I may have accidentally predicted some parts of our future. (Kidding, the stuff I predicted was stuff we all knew was coming, because the call was coming from inside the house this whole damn time, which is why it’s particularly execrable that our “””president””” decided to undercut and undo every protection we had against coming catastrophe.)<\/p>\n
