description: <b>NATIONAL BESTSELLER</b><br /><br />"Powerful <b>Bedtime Story</b> is all that it should be. More. It is frightening. It is fabulous entertainment. It is intensely thought-provoking. Above all, it is a hint and a tickle of things to come."<br /> <i>January Magazine</i><br /><br />"About a good book, we say we 'devoured it.' But what if a book devoured us? In Robert Wiersema'ss <b>Bedtime Story</b>, it does."<br /> <i>The Vancouver Sun<br /><br /></i>Un-put-downable. . . . Wiersema advances his story not through any lyrical flourishes but through masterful storytelling and intricate plotting. The narrative clips along perfectly in tune with the events of the novel, weaving seamlessly back and forth between worlds and times, and drawing the reader deeper and deeper into the mystery and suspense. . . . <b>Bedtime Story</b> is immensely enjoyable. <br /> <i>Edmonton Journal </i><br /><br />Serpentine and clever in structure, . . . rich in weird, surprising characters. . . . Enchanting. <br /> <i>The Globe and Mail</i><br /><br />Creative and well-written. <br /> <i>Winnipeg Free Press</i><br /><br />Fascinating and transformative. . . . The supernatural thriller aspect of the novel is well-oiled and keeps the pages turning. <br />Philip Marchand, <i>National Post</i><br /><br />An absorbing excursion. . . . [<b>Bedtime Story</b>] . . . is a genre unto itself, a hybrid of supernatural thriller and sword-and-sorcery fantasy. <br /> <i>Times Colonist</i><br /><br /><br /><i>From the Hardcover edition.</i>
