A Greek version of Nod written as Ναίν appearing in the Onomastica Vaticana possibly derives from the plural נחים‎, which relates to resting and sleeping. This derivation, coincidentally or not, connects with the English pun on "nod". [5] Interpretation [ edit ]

An extraordinary book, King of Nod is part spook story, part Southern Gothic, and part noir, cloaked in the language of lush imagery and fed on social consciousness. Its characters come alive in their quests to survive childhood, abuse, neglect, discrimination, and oppression and to deal with the consequences of their choices.” There are many speculations about where the land of Nod may be, including Arabia, India, and even as far away as China. Unsurprisingly, there is no consensus as to the exact location of the Land of Nod. After psychosis sets in for those who cannot sleep, and Nod falls into the wrong hands, Paul’s world begins to spiral out of control in a way he never could have imagined. The effect was instantaneous. There isn’t much distance, once you’re forced to think about it, between a smile and a grimace of terror. Just two slightly different sets of facial contortions. On the street behind us, a hundred expressions shifted, and we all entered yet another hell. A man began to scream in a little girl voice while the skeleton woman dropped to her knees, still gazing upward, and began to deepen the wounds on her forearms with ragged fingernails. Within seconds, the rest had followed suit, falling to the ground and grovelling among the glass. Nod works brilliantly on several levels; as a nerve-shredding horror, a timely cautionary tale, and a study of a man’s life being stripped away. --Sci-Fi NowAt Ancient Origins, we believe that one of the most important fields of knowledge we can pursue as human beings is our beginnings. And while some people may seem content with the story as it stands, our view is that there exist countless mysteries, scientific anomalies and surprising artifacts that have yet to be discovered and explained. I found out after I finished this book that the author died this year from a brain tumor. I was very sorry to hear that--the world lost a talented novelist on his passing. Well I've continued the year with another really engrossing and enjoyable read. NOD is about what happens to the world, when for some unknown reason the vast majority of the worlds population can now, suddenly, no longer sleep. What ensues is the world free falling into madness, mayhem and horror.

Genetic ‘Adam and Eve’: All Humans are Descendants of One Man and Woman Who Lived Over 100,000 Years Ago Nod" ( נוד‎) is the Hebrew root of the verb "to wander" ( לנדוד‎). Therefore, to dwell in the land of Nod can mean to live a wandering life. [2] Gesenius defines ( נוּד‎) as follows: Gesenius's Hebrew and Chaldee Lexicon to the Old Testament Scriptures, translated by Samuel Prideaux Tregelles; London: Samuel Bagster & Sons, 1846; p. DXXXVIII.Folks say evil can’t cross water,” she told the boy, “which is why islands is ripe with all kinds’a inbred nastiness.” Revelations of the Dark Mother depicted the story of the first vampires from the point of view of Lilith, Adam's first wife.

However, the ideas are exciting and very well written. The book kept me entertained, thinking hard, appalled, and fascinated. Initially, I thought I had found what I was looking for in the previous two books within this volume. I was desiring to read a thrilling and horrifying tale depicting the eventual breakdown of mind and body, community and society. The first half of this book does a brilliant job in recreating these events, within a limited time-frame that added tension to the piece. I felt the danger that lurked within each individual come increasingly to the surface as sleep continued to evade them. Crowther, Bruce (1991). Yesterday's Yorkshire. David & Charles. p.118.

Mr. Fad has created a masterpiece of epic proportions, one destined to become a classic. The prose itself is a compelling enough reason to give this book a read. And yet, it is a story full of nuance, begging to be read again and again, sharing new treasures with each literary wave coming to shore. I couldn’t put it down from beginning to end.”
