A REVIEW FROM GOODREADS

Well, this is a strange one. It's a crime novel, it's a romance, it's urban fiction, and it's magical realism. For some reason, even though they have very little in common, I kept thinking of that episode of The Sandman where they're all locked in a diner with The Corinthian.

As a frequent insomniac myself, I know only too well that sense of unreality that comes after lack of sleep, and Mark Capell captures it perfectly. Did that just happen? How did I get here? Can I trust my own thoughts? Am I actually awake or lucid dreaming? Normally I loathe books written in the first person present tense, but in this case it works, giving an immediacy that draws us into Justin's dreamlike world - everything is NOW, this isn't something he's looking back on and rationalizing.

Fellow insomniacs with a taste for the slightly surreal will enjoy this.
