Waiting on Wednesday 01/22/20
“Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme that first originated at Breaking the Spine but has since linked up with “Can’t Wait Wednesday” at Wishful Endings now that the original creator is unable to host it anymore. Either way, this fun feature is a chance to showcase the upcoming releases that we can’t wait to get our hands on!

Out of Body by Jeffrey Ford (May 26, 2020 by Tor.com)
Ever since reading Twilight Pariah, Jeffrey Ford is an author I’ve been wanting to try again. Out of Body sounds like something I would like better though, and not least because the concept of sleep paralysis intrigues me. I’ve experienced it only once before, and it was both scary and disturbing, but somehow that only makes me want to read this all the more!
“The horrors of sleep paralysis become so much more in Jeffrey Ford’s new novella Out of BodyA small-town librarian witnesses a murder at his local deli, and what had been routine sleep paralysis begins to transform into something far more disturbing. The trauma of holding a dying girl in his arms drives him out of his own body. The town he knows so well is suddenly revealed to him from a whole new perspective. Secrets are everywhere and demons fester behind closed doors.
Worst of all, he discovers a serial killer who has been preying on the area for over a century, one capable of traveling with him through his dreams.”

Oh, this sounds great … but as someone who’s also had sleep paralysis only once before, terrifying!

OMG – I want this book. This sounds super chilling. Sleep paralysis is definitely scary enough by itself but then the whole out of body seeing being closed doors and a serial killer to boot – oh yes,I want to be this scared.

It’s a bizarre sensation – you can’t move and feel really helpless, and the more you try the more stuck you seem to get.
