It begins with a murder in a Montreal Asylum. All clues point to a discrete religious organization that will stop at nothing to protect their secret plan to create "gifted" humans.Was Christ really betrayed?
The Sleeping Man truly emulates the wispy, floating quality of a dream state. Carignan is able to grasp and describe abstract concepts to the reader in a way that makes sense to advancing the story. His descriptions of beings such as the Cannoi and fellow dreamers are both beautiful and horrifying. The world Carignan paints is lonely and mysterious -- one which I look forward to exploring further. Dream-based novels are near and dear to my heart, and I envy Carignan's uncanny ability to recreate the intricacies of how we experience dreams.
