![]() ![]() ![]() Especially since he is a somnabulist (sleepwalker) who finds himself waking up on the beach, in front of a cafe, and in another person's trailer. Aaron has been with her since he was very small, but is starting to realize that this is not a safe place for him, or Mam, to be. ![]() Living a somewhat sordid "caravan" park (known in the US as a trailer park) with Mam is no picnic, but it is the only life he knows. He ends up taking a job at the local funeral home under the watchful eye of John Barton, the funeral home director, his wife, and feisty daughter Skye.ĭemons are everywhere and for Aaron, and it is only through taking care of the dead that he is able to push his own fears away. This is a dark and humorous story about a young man, disturbed by incidents from his past, ignoring the problems of his present - sleepwalking, insomnia, nightmares, and strange turn in his life from being taken care of by Mam to taking care of her as she slides into dementia. First of all, the cover pictured here is MUCH better than the one on the ARC, which shows a well-dressed young man relaxing on a coffin top holding a single red flower - which almost implies a romance within, which there isn't. ![]()
