Narcolepsy sounds really awful, guys

April 11, 2016 by badkittyuno 1 Comment

I was really certain that I’d posted this review when I finished this book over a week ago, but apparently I didn’t. So apologies if my memory is a bit sketchy here… “Now there’s only me and everything else is on the periphery, just slightly out of reach or out of touch or out of time.” Mark Genevich stars in The Little Sleep (a play off Raymond Chandler’s far superior The Big Sleep).
