So, I picked up 'Sleep-Book' mostly because the whole situation around it is so weird. The author's name, Leolyn Louise Everett, leads to a dead end. No records, no other books, nothing. It's like she wrote this one thing and vanished. The book itself is just as mysterious.
The Story
The plot follows a librarian named Clara who discovers an old, unmarked journal in the stacks. She starts reading entries that describe incredibly lush, detailed dreams. The catch? As she reads, she begins to have the exact same dreams. Soon, she realizes other people who've read the journal are sharing the same dream experiences, and the lines between their waking lives and this shared dream world start to blur. The journal's pages seem to hold a power of their own, and Clara has to figure out where it came from before its influence becomes permanent.
Why You Should Read It
This isn't just a story about dreams. It's about the power of stories themselves and how they shape us. The characters feel real in their confusion and their slow, dawning horror. You get pulled into their reality just as they get pulled into the book's. It made me think about all the books that have ever stuck with me, and why. The writing has this quiet, haunting quality that gets under your skin.
Final Verdict
Perfect for anyone who loves a good meta-mystery or stories that play with reality. If you enjoyed the vibe of 'House of Leaves' or 'The Thirteenth Tale,' but wanted something a bit more intimate and less sprawling, this is your next read. It's a slow-burn puzzle that lives in your head long after you've turned the last page.
