¿Creíste que las pesadillas habían terminado?, ¡Pues será mejor que dejes las luces encendidas, porque la tercera entrega de la hilarante y terrorífica trilogía de Jason Segel y Kirsten Miller ya está aquí! Charlie Laird tiene un mal presentimiento. Para empezar, una chica de porte enigmático —y definitivamente familiar— se ha presentado en la Escuela Primaria de Cypress Creek; luego, ha comenzado a escuchar extraños ruidos muy tarde, en la noche, cosa que nunca es buena señal; y finalmente, las pesadillas han vuelto, ¡y están más locas que nunca!: cada vez que visita Mundo Tenebroso, una horrenda oveja negra está ahí, esperándolo... ¿Será que Charlie está atrapado en las pesadillas de alguien más? Eso, él, no lo sabe, lo único de lo que está convencido es que ICK e INK son responsables.

Charlieho Lairda opäť mátajú zlé sny. A pritom ich nemal od čias, ako sa odvážne postavil svojim strachom. Zakaždým sa ocitne v Podsvetí na poli, obklopený stádom desivých čiernych oviec. Nie sú to obyčajné ovečky, aké počítame, keď nevieme zaspať. Okrem toho, že vyzerajú hrozivo, nerobia vlastne nič mimoriadne. Charlieho však najviac znepokojuje, že to nie je jeho vlastná nočná mora. Jednoducho uviazol v zlom sne niekoho iného. A dal by ruku do ohňa za to, že v tom majú prsty dvojčatá ICK a INK...

Charlie Laird žije život snov. Býva v tajomnom zámku s bránou do Podsvetia, plného priateľských nočných môr. A navyše sa mu práve začínajú letné prázdniny. Nedokáže sa však zbaviť pocitu, že sa deje niečo čudné. Slávne herbárium jeho nevlastnej mamy odrazu zíva prázdnotou a zákazníci si chodia po bylinkové odvary do vedľajšieho mestečka! A ešte horšie je, že po uliciach toho mestečka sa ponevierajú čudné existencie, ktoré vyzerajú ako živé mŕtvoly. Vraj sa tam už dlho nikto poriadne nevyspal. Zdá sa, že vo vzduchu visí poriadny malér a Charlie s priateľmi ho musia čo najskôr vyriešiť...

Charlie Laird sa už tri mesiace poriadne nevyspal. Len čo zavrie oči, ocitne sa vo svete, ktorý sa hemží čarodejnicami, škriatkami, hadmi, upírmi a všemožnými hrôzostrašnými výplodmi ľudskej fantázie. Strašia tu dokonca i klauni či huňaté biele králiky s vražednými zubami! Jedna nočná mora je však zo všetkých najhoršia a Charlie si s ňou musí poradiť, inak sa z ríše zlých snov už nikdy nedostane a privedie do záhuby aj svojich kamarátov, rodinu a celé mesto... Podarí sa mu nabrať odvahu a čeliť tomu, čo ho najviac desí?

Charlie neměl tolik zlých snů od té doby, co se postavil svým strachům. Kdykoli usne, ocitne se v podsvětě na poli, obklopený stádem děsivých černých ovcí. Nejsou to ovečky, jaké počítáme před usnutím. Nepřecházejí poslušně jedna za druhou po můstku. Nedělají vlastně skoro nic. Ale ještě hrozivější je, že to není Charlieho noční můra. Nějak se totiž stalo, že uvízl ve zlém snu někoho jiného.

Jason Segel nos presenta la segunda novela de su aterradora serie ¡Pesadillas! Desde que él y su pandilla lograron escapar de Mundo Tenebroso sanos y salvos, Charlie Laird duerme como un bebé la noche entera. Puede decirse que por fin tiene una vida de ensueño. Sin embargo, el temor por que las cosas cambien vuelve: el herbolario de Charlotte, antes el local más concurrido del pueblo, se ha quedado de la noche a la mañana sin clientela. Al parecer, hasta sus compradores más leales viajan ahora hasta Orville Falls por sus menjurjes y potajes. Más raro aún es que allá, en aquel pueblo, nadie parece conciliar el sueño. Todo mundo da de tumbos por las colinas como un montón de zombis descerebrados. Oh, Charlie conoce bien esta situación. Significa una sola cosa: la vida se está complicando de nuevo.

Nightmares! The Sleepwalker Tonic is the sequel to the hilariously scary New York Times bestselling novel Nightmares! by multitalented actor Jason Segel and bestselling author Kirsten Miller. You thought the nightmares were over? You better keep the lights on! Charlie Laird has a dream life. 1) He has a weirdo stepmom who runs an herbarium. 2) He lives in a purple mansion with a portal to the Netherworld. 3) Since they escaped from the Netherworld, he and his best friends have been sleeping like babies. But Charlie can’t shake the feeling that something strange is afoot. Charlotte’s herbarium used to be one of the busiest stores in Cypress Creek. Now her loyal following is heading to Orville Falls for their herbal potions. Weirder, though, Orville Falls is suddenly filled with . . . zombies? At least, they sure look like the walking dead. Rumor has it that no one’s sleeping in Orville Falls. And Charlie knows what that means. Things are getting freaky again. Praise for the Nightmares!
