More about the book

Exploring the multifaceted nature of night, the book delves into how we illuminate darkness and navigate our fears. It contrasts vibrant settings like Las Vegas with the hidden realms of the underworld and sleep laboratories. Alvarez connects historical figures, such as Coleridge and Stevenson, to the impact of "night horrors" and dreams on creativity. By examining the insights of Freud, Jung, and contemporary theories, he highlights the profound influence of dreams and the unconscious on our daily lives and psyche.
