Nod

Product Information

Yet the most endearing element comes from the death of a long term relationship between Paul (one of the few Sleepers - people who are able to maintain nightly sleep) and his is partner Tanya (one of the many Awakened, those in a perpetual state of insomnia). Their close bond pre the end of the world balances on the edge of ending before falling over the void into nothingness. Add cult-like theorists and an easy manipulation of will, and Tanya and Paul's life together was going to always take a turn for the worse. Not forgetting the fact that the Awakened have a vastly shortened life span as it is. Nod explores the slow disintegration of humanity through sleep deprivation. Reality is distorted as the conceptual fiction of the world of Nod turns fact in the eyes of the Awakened. A harsh insomnia overthrows the daily grind, replacing it with a hazed infused horror fun-house that strips the characters down to their basic need to just survive. There's something else I think people miss with this testimony from Genesis why did God send Cain away in exile and become a vagabond to begin with?

Nod is a novel that only comes around every five to ten years. It takes that long for a writer to create a piece of fiction that actually has something to say and is unique. Nod is that book.

Honestly, that's a solid setup. It was enough to convince me this novel was worth the price of admission. 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.

At 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. Then there's the kid that they adopt. No logical reason is given for why they decide to do this, but this kid that they don't even know and who never says a word suddenly becomes VERY important to them. So important that she is the impetus for everything the MC does for the second half of the book. The possible exception being when he murders his girlfriend. I still don't know why that happened. It was probably meant to be a mercy killing, but it didn't seem like one because I got the impression the MC wanted to do it, probably because of what a slut she had turned into. In the end though, it was very important to save this kid, even at the cost of sacrificing everyone else, including himself. Justin Achilli, Vampire: The Masquerade (Revised Edition) (White Wolf Game Studio, 1998, ISBN 1-56504-249-2) The Land of Nod ( Hebrew: אֶרֶץ־נוֹד‎– ʾereṣ-Nōḏ) is a place mentioned in the Book of Genesis of the Hebrew Bible, located "on the east of Eden" ( qiḏmaṯ-ʿḖḏen), where Cain was exiled by God after Cain had murdered his brother Abel.

Why were the people who could sleep having these strange almost religious visions? What were they for? Why did the children who lived in the park all lose the ability--or desire?--to speak? If the MC is such a recluse (and an asshole), how did he get a girlfriend in the first place? In Fevre Dream by George R. R. Martin, the Land of Nod is suggested as a place where vampires originated. Folks say evil can’t cross water,” she told the boy, “which is why islands is ripe with all kinds’a inbred nastiness.”
