Eternal Night
Danny Shields had a problem – sleepwalking. He also saw the Beings. They floated over him whilst he was lying in bed. Initially they just hovered but after a while they started to pinch and tickle. As time went on things started to get worse. One night, Danny's wife, Tania, woke to find him screaming with a curious bite mark on his arm. When she asked what had happened Danny said that he had been attacked by a strange creature in their living room. Shortly after Danny began to secure the house to protect them all from the monsters.


When Danny then began staying out until late at night, Tania was curious where he was going. Searching his pockets she found a business card for a Dr Tallarab. However, having investigated the address on the card no one seemed to have ever heard of the mysterious doctor. When Danny brought home a gun Tania became even more worried especially with the thought that this condition could have been transferred to their son, Freddie.


Eleven years later Daryl Hersh has started to see Beings floating above him as he lies in bed. When he woke up lying naked behind the sofa he realised that he had started to sleepwalk. Looking for a cure he comes across a doctor of somnambulism, Dr Ballarat who begins a course of treatment that he claims will solve Daryl's problems.


What are the mysterious Beings? What is causing Danny and Daryl to sleepwalk? Will they find out the answer before tragedy strikes?


This is a strange book – like the other Mike Purfield novels I have read. The majority of the tale revolves around Daryl Hersh and the treatment he undergoes to try and stop his sleepwalking.


As you would expect with a Mike Purfield novel, the treatment he receives is far from the psychological counselling that you would expect. In Dr Ballarat's hospital we meet a number of larger-than-life characters in situations that are frequently shocking and, at times, fairly explicit.


Mike Purfield writes in a style that is designed to shock and it invariably succeeds. The use of profanity is far from subtle and may offend some people but in the majority of cases it is appropriate to the scene being portrayed.


Purfield novels are not for the faint of heart. They are hard, punchy and fast moving. A combination that leaves the reader feeling slightly breathless.


If you want to read a horror story with a difference then this book is definitely one for you.

Review by Diana Bennett


What is real? There is a thin and very faint line that separates true and imagined; would you be able to tell when you crossed that line? Just how do we determine where reality ends and imagination begins? Mike Purfield, in his novel Stereo Sanctity, will have you wondering those questions as he drags you kicking and screaming into the life of Daryl Hersh.


Daryl Hersh, just as Danny Shields eleven years earlier, has issues with sleepwalking. But it doesn’t stop there; they have both seen ‘the beings’.


At first Daryl finds them sweet and angelic in nature, almost a comfort to have them watching over him as he sleeps. However, very suddenly, they turn to demons which seem to take special pleasure in his torment. But are they really hurting him or is he doing it to himself?


It is in the hunt for a cure in which the fun begins. Yet still, you cannot help but question just what is real. Is the ‘clinic’ helping Daryl, or are they part of his problem? Are the answers he needs find that will stop the torment locked away in his own mind? Perhaps something deeply locked away in his forgotten past?


Mike Purfield’s style is fresh and blunt, sure to please even the most jaded horror reader. He is clear, crisp, shocking, and yes, at times, deliciously explicit. I have never read anything quite like this before, with his fast pacing making it a true pleasure to read.


The characters are superbly written with none of the softening often seen in novels. They become alive and draw you into the problems they face no matter how unreal the situation may seem.


It is clear that this author loves to tell a good story and in so tells the story well. The genre needs more. I need more.


I highly recommend you dim the lights, strap in and find your own answers to the questions of reality and personal demons.
