About this deal

I just heard Dr Alice (the author) on Radio Wales and her voice was far superior for doing this type of content. It considers case studies, surveys, works of literature, paintings, and movies, with the knowledge that parasomnias tell stories about the people who experience them and about the sociocultural contexts they exist in.

Ever since childhood, she’s been prone to “parasomnias” – sleep disturbances that include nightmares, sleepwalking and ghostly hallucinations. As someone who lives with a family of parasomniacs it was very informative to understand what's going on.

By writing this gruelling, honest book, Alice Vernon has done her small bit to try to puncture the power of nightmares.

Historical accounts also reveal some particularly odd cures, such as magical ‘mare-stanes’ which were circular eroded rocks occasionally embedded with human teeth, said to prevent sleep paralysis.

In a discourse fired by lively inquiry and vivid personal anecdote, she looks to art, literature and science to demonstrate the profound effect these eerie and surprisingly common nocturnal states have had on the human imagination.
