“Anyone familiar with Dan Chaon's short stories should have been waiting on tenterhooks for his newest collection — and they won't be disappointed. Chaon's stories are as well-crafted and incisive as ever, but with Stay Awake, the National Book Award finalist seems to have gone a little darker, a little further into the strangeness of the human psyche. In "The Bees," a young boy screams in his sleep for no reason — he’s had no nightmare, no trauma — and begins to drive his father to disturbed distraction. Families are strained, people are left alone, dreams are dreamed.”
Emily Temple, Flavorpill
