From an exciting new voice in horror comes the tense and surreal novel Awakened. Exploring the extreme aftermath of induced global sleeplessness and the horrors of love amidst lost sanity, this is a perfect read for fans of The Girl with All the Gifts and 28 Days Later. Science has stolen sleep and awakened a world of horror. Ive been an insomniac all of my life, but Im not Sleepless and I wont become Sleepless, just as long as the chips that were put into their heads never get put into mine. Theres little chance of that, since I wont put the machinery into my brain and neither will Edgar and neither will the Professor, and were the only three left who could. I dont want to be Sleepless… Civilisation has ended. In a bid to make us more productive, to give us more time, science took sleep from humanity. But sleeplessness turned people into feral monsters and now a small group of scientists are trapped in the Tower of London, consumed by guilt at what they have done and desperately searching for a cure. And then one day, as the last ravens circle, two miraculous survivors walk into the Tower. Are they the answer or a terrible question?
