Publisher Description
Narcoleptic Southie PI Mark Genevich returns in this sequel to The Little Sleep from the Bram Stoker Award–winning author of Survivor Song and The Cabin at the End of the World.
Like most private eyes, Mark Genevich is something of a lone wolf. So group therapy isn’t a great fit. But his landlord/mother is convinced it will help his narcolepsy—ignoring the fact that his disorder is a physical condition. Truth is, he has the time. It’s been a year and a half since his last big case, or any case.
It’s never a wise choice to go on a two-day bender with someone you meet in group therapy, but there’s something about Gus that intrigues Genevich. And when his new drinking buddy asks him to protect a female friend who’s being stalked, the PI finally has a case.
Unfortunately, he’s about to sleepwalk right into a very real nightmare. Before long he’s a suspect in an arson investigation and running afoul of everyone from the cops to a litigious lawyer and a bouncer with anger management issues. Genevich must keep his wits about him—always a challenge for a detective prone to unexpected blackouts and hallucinations—to solve the crime and live to show up at his next therapy session.
In Paul Tremblay’s follow-up to The Little Sleep, unreliable narrator Mark Genevich once again leads readers on a surreal and suspenseful wild ride through the mean streets of South Boston and his own dreamlike reality.

"I really enjoy the main character - a narcoleptic private investigator from South Boston. The local references were great and the dialogue was pitch perfect. I liked this better than the first one - in his first book the narcolepsy was almost too dominant, here it was blended in much more smoothly."
— Alan (4 out of 5 stars)

No Sleep Till Wonderland Listener Reviews

" Really good. Like a narcoleptic Memento. You get the feeling you are sharing his symptoms. "
— Brian, 8/5/2013 -
" A little rougher than the first one I thought, seemed like the balance between being "serious" and keeping the character like-able wasn't kept as well. Maybe that was intentional, but the outcome for me was I just wasn't as invested in the character. "
— Heyhansen, 6/25/2013 -
" Crappy book. Don't waste your time. "
— Lulu, 3/28/2013 -
" I enjoyed this a lot, although it's not as startling as the first volume (often a problem with sequels to strong novels). "
— Ellen, 1/23/2013 -
" A detective story that is the perfect cross between Kafka and Chandler. Crazy, scary, and flat out fun. "

" Interesting detective story, not usually my thing but I liked it. "
— Amanda, 12/25/2011 -
" Blows up the classic noir style like a balloon - right to the point of popping. Heavy on the metaphor, like the big guy you don't want to tussle with sitting on your legs for 200 pages. "
— Alicia, 6/21/2011 -
" No sophomore slump here. Better than the first one. I love his writing style. "
