“For every time we’ve said of a loved one who’s gone astray, ‘dear God, why can’t they just wake up?'”—Alma Katsu

We’re thrilled to share the cover of Malcolm Devlin’s And Then I Woke Up, a creepy layered literary story about false narratives and their ability to divide us, written in the tradition of Mira Grant and Stephen Graham Jones, available on April 5, 2022 from Tordotcom Publishing.

In a world reeling from an unusual plague, monsters lurk in the streets while terrified survivors arm themselves and roam the countryside in packs. Or perhaps something very different is happening. When a disease affects how reality is perceived, it’s hard to be certain of anything…

Spence is one of the “cured” living at the Ironside rehabilitation facility. Haunted by guilt, he refuses to face the changed world until a new inmate challenges him to help her find her old crew. But if he can’t tell the truth from the lies, how will he know if he has earned the redemption he dreams of? How will he know he hasn’t just made things worse?
