Publisher's summary

In the tradition of Mira Grant and Stephen Graham Jones, Malcolm Devlin's And Then I Woke Up is a creepy, layered, literary story about false narratives and their ability to divide us.

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?

A unique story about the apocalypse

This is the story about the end of the world. You've seen it in movies and on TV. It's a familiar concept... or is it? I really enjoyed how the story is set up and then deconstructed. Are we the authors of our own narrative? We think so, but maybe we're wrong.

Dull from moment to moment

The premise is interesting but 20% of the way through and nothing much has happened and it’s very repetitive.
Narrator is fine I guess. Closer to 4/5 than 2/5.

confusing, confusing, confusing

if the author's intention was to entertain me he fell short. this book was so boring and confusing. I'm guessing the whole point was to keep me on my toes due to an unreliable narrator but the story was all over the place and nothing made sense. the premise was good; execution needed more work.
