The night guest - hildur knutsdottir

Hildur Knutsdottirs The Night Guest is an eerie and ensnaring story set in contemporary Reykjavík thats sure to keep you awake at night.

Iðunn is in yet another doctors office.

She knows her constant fatigue is a sign that somethings not right, but practitioners dismiss her symptoms and blood tests havent revealed any cause.

When she talks to friends and family about it, the refrain is the same -- have you tried eating better? exercising more? establishing a nighttime routine? She tries to follow their advice, buying everything from vitamins to sleeping pills to a step-counting watch.

Nothing helps.

Until one night Iðunn falls asleep with the watch on, and wakes up to find shes walked over 40,000 steps in the night .

What is happening when shes asleep? Why is she waking up with increasingly disturbing injuries? And why wont anyone believe her?.
