Markert, the author Peter Farris calls the \"clear heir to Stephen King,\" \u003ci\u003eMister Lullaby\u003c\/i\u003e brings our darkest dreams and nightmares to life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn  the vein of T.

After a young boy, Sully Dupree, is injured in the abandoned  tunnel and left in a coma, the townspeople are determined to wall it up.  Deputy sheriff Beth Gardner is reluctant to buy into the superstitions  until she finds two corpses at the tunnel’s entrance, each left with  strange calling cards inscribed with old lullabies. Soon after, Sully  Dupree briefly awakens from his coma.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBefore falling back into  his slumber, Sully manages to give his older brother a message. Sully's  mind, since the accident, has been imprisoned on the other side of the  tunnel in Lalaland, a grotesque and unfamiliar world inhabited by evil  mythical creatures of sleep. Sully is trapped there with hundreds of  other coma patients, all desperately fighting to keep the evils of the  dream world from escaping into the waking world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElsewhere, a man  troubled by his painful youth has for years been hearing a voice in his  head he calls Mr. Lullaby, and he has finally started to act on what  that voice is telling him—to kill any coma patient he can find, quickly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSomething is waking up in the tunnel—something is trying to get through. And Mr. Lullaby is coming.\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eMister Lullaby\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“[A] high-octane supernatural thriller . . .
