Some great background for those who've read The Sleepwalker or a nice intro to that book. Quick and enjoyable read. ( ) This is a prequel to Chris's new novel The Sleepwalker due in January. It gives some background to the soon to be released novel and makes you rush to Amazon to pre-order the novel. I read the novel first and then the short story. Even though I knew what was going to happen, I was still entranced by the author's ability to foreshadow his novel just enough but not too much. It introduced the characters and the main premise of the story and told about one incident, that happened several years before the novel starts, where the mom sleepwalks and how much the family is upset with her nocturnal wanderings. You should try to read it before you read the novel and now that the novel has been published, you won't have to wait. Whether you read it before or after, it's still an amazing short story. no reviews | add a review
