Description
Sleep Donation by Karen Russell is a haunting novella that balances the quirky and absurd with psychological acumen. In a world where an epidemic of insomnia has left America crippled, the Slumber Corps agency provides a lifeline by transfusing sleep to sufferers from healthy volunteers. Recruitment manager Trish Edgewater's faith in the organisation begins to unravel when she meets mysterious Donor Y and Baby A. Fully illustrated and featuring a brand-new 'Nightmare Appendix', this uncanny and prescient story will leave you unsettled. With its assured and speed-driven narrative, Russell puts the reader under a spell for the duration of her tale.
