ABOUT THE BOOK

Some fears are only frightening… until you get a taste of them.

Evan can’t sleep.

Every night the nightmares come — monstrous, clawing, relentless. At school the other children laugh at his tired eyes and heavy heart. Nobody knows what the dark brings him.

Until the night Evan stops running.

And takes a bite.

Dark caramel. Burnt sugar. Lemon that fizzes and pops. One by one, Evan discovers that nightmares have flavours — and that fear, when you face it, doesn’t taste the way you thought it would.

The Boy Who Ate Nightmares is a gothic picture book for children who carry too much at night — and for every parent who remembers what that felt like.

A story about fear, courage, and the strange sweetness of facing the dark.

From Midnight Library — where sadness learns to live.
