Father Sleep

by Stephen Short

Published October 7, 2024

Father Sleep is the story of a middle-aged man, Jeff Vickers, who dreams for the very first time in his life and is terrified by what he sees. He seeks professional help in the form of an oddball “oneiromancer,” Gilbert, who promises he can “fix” his dreams. Jeff finds that Gilbert’s help isn’t what he bargained for as his dreams spill over into his waking life and threaten his marriage with his wife, Kate, and everything else he thought he knew.

Father Sleep introduces its readers to the eerily-quiet world of Jeff Vickers that leaves you waiting for answers and wondering what’s going on right alongside him… until you’re not.

As someone who remembers a lot of their dreams this book freaked me out a little. I found it so interesting that the story was about dreams and how they can be changed or interpreted. At first I was confused by the ending but the more I sat with it and processed it made more sense. This book will absolutely make you think. EVERY detail is important so pay attention! The twists at the end will make you rethink everything you have read.
