Sean Bunce- Fear the Night
"Based on a true story" is a set of words that never fail to send shivers down our spines when we're reading or watching horror, and Sean Bunce's 'Fear the Night' is indeed based in truth. Sleep paralysis affects a speculated 7.6% of the population, and some sufferers report hallucinating a stranger, or feel a sense of dread or impending doom. Bunce's novel takes this concept and injects a supernatural element; what if the horrific visions you see could actually hurt you?

After a chance encounter with the mysterious, charming Adam Decker, her unconscious hours are gripped by terrible, unexplainable nightmares. She finds mysterious marks on her neck, she feels like she is being watched, and in her dreams, she hears a strange voice calling to her. Will she be able to save her own soul, or will she succumb to the darkness?
