A gripping psychological thriller from the author of Winged Creatures. August, Carratuck Island, New York: a silent child is found abandoned on the beach clutching a handheld video
game, and residents and tourists alike find themselves stricken by relentless insomnia. Denied the outlet of dreams—
fears, guilt, and primal urges find other ways to surface. A teenage girl competes in an online game: who can stay awake
longest? The bleary police chief struggles to keep order. The local doctor battles the ghosts of his past to find the cause
and a cure for the epidemic, and face down the violent mob that blames the child. Cut off from the mainland, the
island plunges into chaos, murder, and suicide.
