About this deal
Published on 12 October 2023 by ICON BOOKS in the United Kingdom.
a remarkable debut. ** AS READ ON BBC RADIO 4 BOOK OF THE WEEK IN DECEMBER 2022 **'Curious, lively, humble, utterly genuine . Ever since she was a child, Alice Vernon has slept strangely. Ever since she was a child, her nights have been haunted by nightmares of a figure from her adolescence, sinister hallucinations and episodes of sleepwalking. Night Terrors, her startling and vivid debut, examines the history of our relationship with bad dreams: how we've tried to make sense of and treat them, from some decidedly odd 'cures' like magical 'mare-stones', to research on how video games might help people rewrite their dreams. Weight: 206gDimension: 129 x 198 x 18 (mm)ISBN-13: 9781785788680 Along the way we explore the Salem Witch Trials and sleep paralysis, Victorian ghost stories, and soldiers' experiences of PTSD.

I loved this book, the author takes (what is really a complex subject) and humanises it. In the world of academe this is a rare quality, I hope to see more books from Alice…I know that I’ll be buying them!
