The story is very strong and immerses the reader into its very rich and visual detail and description that just seem to flow from word to word and sentence to sentence. I was immediately hooked by the imagination and the way the story unfolds effortlessly in front of you. It is a truly compelling read and I certainly can't wait to read more of this intriguing book.

The Sleeping Man draws you into its dream world immediately. Carignan's writing style is detail-rich, and full of provocative imagery. This tale, in its exploration of the dream world and the danger and adventure waiting there, is one that I shall readily return to for more.

Engaging and fluid, The Sleeping Man uses a vivid interplay of gross physical reality and character focused subjectivity to offset the reader's perception.

Compelling from the first paragraph. In its first few pages, it creates the bones of a mythology that is both frightening and intriguing. Diving into the meat of the world is almost certain to be a rewarding treat.

I love it when poets write prose. The Sleeping Man feels like a condensed divine comedy of old as told by the Cowboy Junkies. I can't wait to hold the pulp version of this book. When  Mr. Carignan sees fit to allow me to pre-order it, I shall.
