 Thanks NetGalley and Legendary Comics for this arc

3/5 stars

The concept was cool, but I found this pretty boring tbh. I feel like maybe it just isn't for me and other people might like it more.i found myself skimming through the last half just to finish it, and it still took me quite a few days lol

In this graphic novel we follow Terri, who after a bad accident develops narcolepsy. Terri starts to develop a very weird symptom; anytime she falls asleep she's manifesting a monster. And this monster likes to kill. Terri begins to be chased by the cops, federal agents, and eventually the military. Can Terri figure out what is going on? Will she ever be able to sleep again without manifesting her dreamscaper? You'll have to read this and find out for yourself!

I really enjoyed this graphic novel, even though it ended a little bit slowly. Despite that, I'm interested to see where the next volume goes.

Graphic: Blood, Violence, and Murder

The story launched into the action much too quickly and didn’t give the reader enough time to orient themselves. I didn’t even care for any of the characters because of how quickly everything was happening. Too confusing without enough solid ground to stabilize the story.

This book was fantastic and exactly what you want when looking for a horror graphic novel. There are some people that upon falling asleep create sleepwalkers or bring them forth. Sleepwalkers are a bad thing. They are almost a type of demon, whose goal is death and destruction. It turns out that most the people who can do this were from a genetic experiment. However, there is one girl, Terry, who is a natural sleepwalker ever since an accident and it has put her on the run for her life. This book is a great first volume. It moves quickly. The story is succinct, makes sense, but also leaves you wanting the next volume. Trigger warning as there is blood that’s assault and everything you expect to find in a horror novel.
