THE EDGE OF SLEEP

Franz Drameh's deeply involving performance embodies these characters and their rapidly deteriorating world. As Dave, a night watchman, goes about his routine, he discovers that people around him are not waking up. He soon joins a mission to find out why while struggling to stay awake himself. He has to--in this new apocalypse sleep leads to death. Based on a popular limited podcast series, Emmanuel and Block's audiobook expands the original story, but listeners aren't required to have any background. In fact, the less known, the better. Drameh's narrative skill is on full display. Characters shift among dark humor, fear, and heartbreak quickly. Drameh smoothly creates the complete environment of this story and its characters. S.P.C.
