Summary
After years of torment from a mysterious voice that haunts his dreams, struggling musician Harlow reaches his breaking point and attempts to escape his suffering forever. Instead of death, he awakens in a strange silver expanse where an ancient entity known only as Sleep offers him a bargain: become the Vessel of its Word, and in return receive the talent, fame, and purpose he has always longed for.
Desperate and broken, Harlow accepts.
As his musical abilities begin to sharpen beyond anything humanly possible, Harlow is drawn into a dark path shaped by prophecy, hidden identities, and the growing influence of Sleep’s will. Guided by cryptic visions and haunted by the fear of losing himself completely, he gathers a group of musicians destined to help him spread Sleep’s message through music, ritual, and worship.
But the deeper Harlow falls into the bargain, the more he realizes the truth: Sleep is no benevolent god. It is possessive, manipulative, and hungry for control. And as fame, obsession, lust, and devotion begin to intertwine, Harlow must confront the terrifying possibility that he was never chosen to serve Sleep—He was bred for it across lifetimes.

Summary
In Vine Station, Alabama, the summer air gave no shits about humanity as it mercilessly increased to an oppressive heat while maintaining a suffocating humidity.
Alaska Young fanned herself as she sat outside on the back porch with one of her mother’s funeral fans, one those round ones with cheesy bible passages printed on them, which the funeral people think make funeral attendees cheer up but instead just makes people feel guilty for wanting to laugh at how cheesy they are.
[...]
Alaska slammed her feet into a pair of flip flops and ducked inside to grab a flashlight from the kitchen drawer. “Going out,” she wrote on a little post it note, and stuck it on the screen door. “Won’t be more reckless than usual.”

Summary
31 DAYS TIL CHRISTMAS, GOTHAM CITY
You feel something in the air on your walks home from your first job. It’s veiled in a thin darkness. Your skin twitches, you will pick up your pace in the mud-painted snow as you head to your second job. There, you find the strange regular sitting at the counter. You always do. Eyes colored green and hunched over, almost like you could crack him open.
And once the darkness sees you put on your apron through the window pane, he leaves. He shifts with a strange heaviness inside his stomach, eyes colored black.
They only want to protect you. They just don’t know they’re protecting you from each other.

Some other way to continue to hide my face
Incurring debt to sins I’ll never pay for

A stain that will never come off

Summary
They say that when a person finds their soulmate, their Words turn from dull and translucent to bold and vivid with color, but not everyone is destined to even have another half. Many are born Wordless - no handwriting spelling out their soulmate’s first word or phrase directed at them on the inside of their right wrists, no matching pair somewhere else in the world.
As you push your way through the evening commute crowd, eager to get home as quickly as possible so that you can drown your sorrows in a bowl of cereal and ignore the pink slip burning a hole in your pocket, you suddenly wish you could be Wordless yourself. It sure as hell would be easier than finding someone whose first words to you are so generic that you’ve heard them a million times in your life already.
[In which Reader is fully convinced that the universe is playing some sort of cruel cosmic prank on her, and it all starts the moment her Words finally change color.]
