The eyes slept and the monsters woke up

Author's name: Maryam Al-Haisi

Since her early childhood, “Hilm” has been the victim of an endless nightmare.
A nightmare with one name: the incubus.

She suffered from chronic insomnia, from endless nights, from the silence of the night when the body turns into a chain, and the mind into prey, but the worst thing was not in her sleep, but in waking up to scenes of her family’s destruction, without explanation…
Except that the "incubus" was there.

Hulme grew up, trying to hide her broken heart and convince herself that what she was suffering from was just a psychological illness.
But doubt turned into obsession, and obsession became a message.

She became one of the greatest researchers in sleep disorders and clinical psychology, and her greatest inventions:
Photographer of incubus and nightmares
A super device capable of recording the nightmares of sleepers and printing them as if they were movies!
An achievement that made Saudi Arabia proud of its daughter, and sold devices all over the world.
Global Joy, a New Era of Science
But the joy did not last long.

In a terrifying silence...
The first ten people who bought the device died in their sleep.
Horrific deaths, beyond description.
Then the cases continued.
Then terror spread.

Horrific titles appeared in the newspapers:
"Night Death Plague"
"Voluntary insomnia epidemic"

People fled from sleep as they flee from hell,
But he who runs away from sleep... runs away to madness.
And those who suffer from insomnia... do not die, but transform.
To something else.

deformed human creatures,
Devouring brains and eyes,
Laugh, whisper, run, and kill.
They are not zombies.
Rather, it terrifies.

The world gave them new names:
"The Insomniacs"
"The Incubus"

The regime collapsed.
Nightmares crawled from dreams into reality.
When world leaders gathered to describe what was happening
They couldn't find a more appropriate name than:
"Nightmare virus."

In the novel "The Sleepwalkers",
I take you on a dark, bloody, terrifying journey, set in the heart of Saudi Arabia.
Where dream becomes a curse, sleep becomes a trap, and nightmares become creatures.

Do you dare to enter the world of "nightmare"?
Salvation. Not for those who wake up, but for those who never sleep.
