The Sleep Room by F R Tallis
From the Doctor of Fear, comes the horror story that everyone is dreaming about.
'Tallis.. explores the mysteries of the human mind and the nature of reality so skillfully that his final twist can be easily accepted in this novel of psychological suspense that's grounded firmly in fact.' Booklist 'Delivers some wicked chills.' Publisher's Weekly 'An authentic psychological horror constructed of dreams, reality, perceived reality and the supernatural.' Scream Magazine. 'F R Tallis' story charms with its period detail (it's set in the late Fifties) and establishes an effectively spooky setting in its isolated hospital.' Sci Fi Now 'Be warned... there'll be no sleep until the last page has turned!' Lancashire Evening Post 'Layering several familiar elements expertly, Tallis creates a deliciously creepy mood of neogothic suspense' Kirkus Reviews 'The novel is an elegantly constructed psychiatric Gothic, all spires and gargoyles and ghostly echoes -- the sort of vast, dread edifice we sometimes build around ourselves when the lights go out.' NEW YORK TIMES 'I found the novel fascinating ... Tallis has crafted a skillful exercise in neo-Gothic horror.' THE WASHINGTON POST
