Black Moon by Kenneth Calhoun

A mysterious epidemic of sleeplessness sweeps across the world, unraveling society as dreams become a forgotten luxury. Those who can no longer sleep descend into madness, violence, and despair, while the rare few who still can are hunted and feared. Amid the chaos, Matt Biggs searches for his missing wife, hoping she has somehow survived the spreading delirium. As cities burn and sanity collapses, the boundary between waking and dreaming blurs into something terrifyingly real. Black Moon is a haunting vision of a world stripped of rest — a lyrical, unsettling meditation on love, loss, and the fragile line that separates order from oblivion.
