Description
In the tradition of thought-provoking horror, Malcolm Devlin's And Then I Woke Up is a layered, literary story about the power of false narratives to divide us. When a mysterious disease affects how reality is perceived, the lines between truth and deception become increasingly blurred. In a world where monsters lurk in the streets, survivors are forced to arm themselves and roam the countryside in packs. But what if the true enemy is not the external threat, but the way we perceive it? Spence, one of the "cured", is haunted by guilt and struggles to face the changed world. When a new inmate challenges him to help her find her old crew, he must confront the possibility that his perception of reality may be just as flawed as everyone else's. As Spence navigates this uncertain world, he must ask himself: can he trust his own perceptions, or will he become trapped in a web of lies?
