Out of Body is a dark fantasy thriller from multi-award-winning author Jeffrey Ford. A small-town librarian witnesses a murder at his local deli, and what had been routine sleep paralysis begins to transform into something far more disturbing. The trauma of holding a dying girl in his arms drives him out of his own body. The town he knows so well is suddenly revealed to him from a whole new perspective. Secrets are everywhere and demons fester behind closed doors. Worst of all, he discovers a serial killer who has been preying on the area for over a century, one capable of traveling with him through his dreams. Praise for Jeffrey Ford's The Twilight Pariah His trademark mix of intelligence, creeps, melancholy, integrity, and wit is as addictive as it is compelling. I want to be Jeffrey Ford when I grow up. --Paul Tremblay Creepy, funny, and poignant--a delight for connoisseurs of fantastic fiction. --Liz Hand

The horrors of sleep paralysis become so much more in Jeffrey Ford's new novella Out of Body.
