Description: " The Dreamers is harrowing, riveting, profoundly moving, and beautifully written. In a word, this book is stunning." --Emily St. John Mandel, author of Station Eleven "Walker offers a novel bursting with ideas, probing the scary and tantalizing possibilities at the edges of our existence." -- USA Today "In The Dreamers, Karen Thompson Walker's second novel, dreams are . . . both more dangerous and more powerful than the Greeks could have ever imagined. . . . Walker uses evocative language to describe the almost bewitching nature of contagion." -- The Washington Post "Walker writes beautifully about the things that define how a society either endures or collapses in crisis, a theme that may never have been more timely than it is now." --Minneapolis StarTribune "[An] imaginative, disturbing, and ultimately spellbinding narrative, which asks provocative questions about our concepts of time and connection, and the bounds of possibility for life on earth." -- Vogue "You'll be mesmerized by this well-constructed, vividly drawn exploration of the concept of dreams versus reality." -- Marie Claire "With mellifluous prose, Walker traces victims' experiences (awake and asleep), along with how their family members, friends, and doctors respond to the crisis." -- Real Simple " The Dreamers is a beautifully written novel that is powerful, thoughtful, and entirely original." -- PopSugar "Richly imaginative and quietly devastating . . . Walker jolts the narrative with surprising twists, ensuring it keeps its energy until the end. This is a skillful, complex, and thoroughly satisfying novel about a community in peril." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Frighteningly powerful, beautiful, and uncanny, The Dreamers is a love story and also a horror story--a symphonic achievement, alternating intimate moments with a panoramic capture of a crisis in progress." --Karen Russell, author of Vampires in the Lemon Grove
