Insomnia has claimed everyone Biggs knows. Even his beloved wife, Carolyn, has succumbed to the telltale red-rimmed eyes, slurred speech and cloudy mind before disappearing into the quickly collapsing world. Yet Biggs can still sleep, and dream, so he sets out to find her.
He ventures out into a world ransacked by mass confusion and desperation, where he meets others struggling against the tide of sleeplessness. Chase and his buddy Jordan are devising a scheme to live off their drug-store lootings; Lila is a high school student wandering the streets in an owl mask, no longer safe with her insomniac parents; Felicia abandons the sanctuary of a sleep research center to try to protect her family and perhaps reunite with Chase, an ex-boyfriend. All around, sleep has become an infinitely precious commodity. Money can’t buy it, no drug can touch it, and there are those who would kill to have it. However, Biggs persists in his quest for Carolyn, finding a resolve and inner strength that he never knew he had.
Kenneth Calhoun has written a brilliantly realized and utterly riveting depiction of a world gripped by madness, one that is vivid, strange, and profoundly moving.

Insomnia, it’s seems we all suffer from it sometime in our life or we know someone who has. It’s that’s chronic inability to fall asleep, it’s persistent and it can also drive a person crazy. In Black Moon, the world is gripped by insomnia; it is the end of sleep. Humans are dying in a “fit of hallucinations and devastating physical and mental exhaustion” where only a few people are able to sleep and these few Sleepers are treated like a minority. The reasons for this crisis is unknown and while scientists work on a remedy, the world is crashing. Appearances are thrown out the door and sentence structure is something used only in a world of the Sleeper as for now, the sleepless roams. “You don’t go for so long all around and around if you’re who you said you are,” makes perfect sense to those who see the shadow people. We follow the lives of a few individuals who are trying to outrun the illness for who gets touched by the hand of sleeplessness no one knows. Imagine yourself trying to stay alive and trying to sleep and not get caught in a world that is awake 24/7 with a mystery disease that’s running fierce, the clock is ticking. Black Moon, it’s an excellent sci-fi book.
I was captive by the running from a mystery illness while trying to sleep, as the rest of the world was awake. The sleepless were watching and they knew, it was a chilling thought. The actions and the words from the infected had me laughing at times. Their uncaring attitude and demeanor was like a zombie apocalypse only these humans were alive. I know when I am tired, I am not myself but for these sleepless who have not slept in weeks, it was funny yet scary. To imagine such an outcome is entertaining yet something to think about.
