The Review:
This story has it all: it's part horror, part suspense, and part thriller. Mr. Bates' writing was both incisive and vivid. The characters were convincing and realistic but stereotypical to the point of cringe overload. The plot of the narrative seems credible. The reader can infer that an experiment comparable to Dr. Wallis' was conducted. That just adds to the dread of this novel.
I was interested in learning more about the real "Russian Sleep Experiment" after hearing about it on a shady YouTube channel, but when I discovered that it was true, it piqued my interest because I have had some experience with the long-term effects of sleep deprivation, such as uncontrollable laughter and seeing sudden movements and shadows around you that may or may not be real, but I never looked into it further because the body simply can't stay awake after a few days.
The title of this book was the first thing that drew me into the series, and I believe that it perfectly captures the real story in its own twisted and unexpected way. But keep in mind that it isn't just about that Russian experiment; rather, it expands on it and creates its own world, characters, and situations.
Slow to begin, but that's what a slow burn is all about when you reach the boiling point and begin to see the truth you've been waiting to see since the first page. Not a huge book and can be finished in one or two sittings.
The way antihero is written is so good that you'll hate him on one page and then want to support and help him on the next. That is what a great author can do to the emotions of his or her readers. Yes, you will smell the cringe all around you as you read about the characters in this novel, but it was only a small part of the story, so I will not deduct points for it.
The World's Scariest Legends is supposed to be a series, but all of the books are standalone stories based on true stories. I'm glad I found this series, and I'm not going to hate the author or the series because of something that was specifically written to add to the story, because diverse and flawed characters are an important part of any story, and if everyone is perfect, the story will end on one page. So just read it without any preconceived notions and enjoy it.
Synopsis:
““SHOCKING...TERRIFYING"—Entertainment Weekly
From USA Today and #1 Amazon bestselling author Jeremy Bates comes the second book in the all-new WORLD'S SCARIEST LEGENDS series.
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.”
