Apnea: a novel of the future

By Jay Sizemore

A 2023 Quarter-Finalist for the BookLife Prize from Publishers Weekly in the category of sci-fi/horror.

IF YOU FALL ASLEEP, YOU DIE.
In the future, a virus threatens humanity with extinction. During the Great Sleep, nearly all men on the planet suddenly perish, throwing the world into chaos.

For the few left behind, but one hope remains: an experimental drug that keeps carriers of the virus awake for 21 straight days.

The treatment offers a slim chance of survival, but those willing to undergo the trial do so at the risk of losing their very minds.

Joseph Conrad is about to begin this treatment...AGAINST HIS WILL.

BookLife Reviews called APNEA "delightfully surreal," "Cronenbergian" with "vivid prose," and "gut-churning, taboo-flouting horror."
...If you've enjoyed books such as I am Legend by Richard Matheson, Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood, or Misery and Gerald's Game by Stephen King, then this novel will surely satisfy your taste for something new....
