Reviews
"Calhoun's literary dystopia, which features beautiful writing, arresting imagery, and powerful metaphors, will appeal to fans of Karen Thompson Walker's The Age of Miracles... A deeply lyrical exploration of humanity at the extremes."
Library Journal Starred Review
"Surprising and unpredictable... In his first novel, Calhoun paints an all-too-believable landscape... His dark tale is allegorical and relevant in today's zombie-infatuated zeitgeist. This clever twist on the dystopian formula is a standout."
Booklist
"Calhoun's depiction of the collapse of language, reason, and love in a world without sleep is unflinching, and - scariest of all - it feels brilliantly contemporary."
