Somnambulist

You wake up in your neighbor’s apartment from another sleepwalking episode, a knife at your throat. Luckily, the woman recognizes you before she presses the blade any farther. Her name’s Chelsea Summers, a folklorist gathering material on local legends. Sleep paralysis episodes have always haunted you, but the ones you’ve been having lately are taking a prophetic turn, one that hides a path of darkness stretching from the streets of Manhattan to the forests of upstate New York. 

Somnambulist is an interactive novel about a sleep paralysis demon, a missing girl, and a cosmic threat. Requiring only a pencil, an eraser, and a couple of dice, you shape the narrative, making choices that will lead to one of 14 different endings. This genre-defying journey leaps from cryptid infused murder mystery to doomed interstellar romance. If you’ve never read a book like this before, Somnambulist is the place to start.
