Título: The Sleep Experiment (World's Scariest Legends)
Autor: Jeremy Bates
Sinopse: From USA Today and #1 Amazon bestselling author Jeremy Bates comes the second STAND-ALONE book in the all-new WORLD'S SCARIEST LEGENDS series. For fans of Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and Creepypastas.
In 1954, at the start of the Cold War, the Soviet military offered four political prisoners their freedom if they participated in an experiment requiring them to remain awake for fourteen days while under the influence of a powerful stimulant gas. The prisoners ultimately reverted to murder, self-mutilation, and madness.
None survived.
In 2018, Dr. Roy Wallis, an esteemed psychology professor at UC Berkeley, is attempting to recreate the same experiment during the summer break in a soon-to-be demolished building on campus. He and two student assistants share an eight-hour rotational schedule to observe their young Australian test subjects around the clock.
What begins innocently enough, however, morphs into a nightmare beyond description that no one could have imagined—with, perhaps, the exception of Dr. Roy Wallis himself.

Sobre a editora
Os livros da editora Ghillinnein Books conduzem o leitor a ambientes sombrios e tensos, onde o medo se manifesta tanto em cenários naturais isolados quanto em ameaças humanas. A experiência de leitura costuma ser marcada por narrativas de suspense intenso, com ritmo acelerado e clima de perigo constante, frequentemente ambientadas em florestas, regiões remotas ou locais com histórias sobrenaturais. As tramas exploram conflitos entre sobrevivência e forças desconhecidas, misturando elementos de terror clássico com toques contemporâneos, o que cria um contraste entre o terror psicológico e o horror físico. O catálogo revela uma predileção por histórias que desafiam o leitor a encarar o medo em suas múltiplas formas, seja em ambientes reais, como selvas africanas e florestas japonesas, ou em localidades envoltas em lendas urbanas e fenômenos inexplicáveis.
