    About this ebook

    Sleep Turns to Monster is a look into the troubled mind as thoughts spiral and twist between the emotions of the conscious and the unknown depths in which souls are lost in the crags and crevices from within the twilight of restless slumber. All of lifes unspoken feelings in a collection of poetry that all can understand, some may relate to, but none wish to endure.
