Sleep Donation (Vintage Contemporaries)

Trish Edgewater is the Slumber Corps' top recruiter, capable of getting even the most reluctant healthy dreamer to donate sleep to an insomniac in crisis. Trish cries, she shakes, she shows potential donors a picture of her deceased sister: one of the first victims of the lethal insomnia plague that has swept the globe.

Run by the wealthy, enigmatic Storch brothers, the Corps is at the forefront of the fight against this new disease. But when Trish encounters "Baby A," the first universal sleep donor, and the mysterious "Donor Y," whose infectious nightmare contaminates the global sleep supply, her faith in both the organization and her own motives falters.

Illustrated with dreamy evocations of Karen Russell's singular imagination and featuring a nightmarish new appendix, Sleep Donation will keep readers up long into the night.
