After reading the second book of the Nightmareland Chronicles, Lullaby, I had extremely high expectations for Sleepwalking. If you are an avid reader, you will understand that can often lead to disappointment due to placing expectations out of reach.
This is not the case with the masterful way that Daniel Barnett crafts his novels. The man is a wordsmith GENIUS. I was captivated with book one. I was completely enthralled by book two. Sleepwalking absolutely blew me away. I'm in awe of how it is that each of these books continues to get better and better. It is the longest book in the series so far and I could not put it down once I started. After reading the first two, I completely expected that and planned accordingly. :)
In this book, the epic tale continues after the sun has disappeared. Humanity is degrading into madness until technology with speakers begins to play a soft lullaby, lulling the majority to sleep. Some lie motionless, soft smiles upon their faces. Others sleepwalk, almost appearing able to function, with a little help.
Are they simply asleep, dreaming happy dreams to cause those smiles? If so, then why do those still awake have such averse reactions when near that make them want to avoid contact? What happens if someone dies while under the influence of this strange lullaby? Do they simply pass from this life to the next? Or something worse?
I highly recommend this series if you are a fan of horror and thriller/suspense novels. By the second book, I knew this was my favorite horror series. After reading this one, this series is in my top 10 favorite series of all time and the author has risen to the instant purchase category.
Daniel Barnett is going to be a household name, mark my words.
