Since his wife died, Ralph is having trouble sleeping. He's hardly sleeping at all. Each day he awakens earlier. The books call it "premature waking." During walks late at night, he observes strange things all around. Colored ribbons streaming from peoples heads, two strange little men wandering around town, and more. He begins to suspect that these phenomena are a bit more than hallucinations from insomnia. Theres a definite streak running through this small town of Derry, Maine. Beneath the surface, awesome and terrifying forces are at play. The 'dying' has been going on for a long, long time. Now Ralph is part of it... and his maddening sleeplessness is the least of his worries. Days never end. Nightmares are real. No one is innocent. 787 pages. Insured post.. Signed by Author.
