Don’t Sleep with the Dead is an excellent return to the world of Nghi Vo’s delightfully queer and reimagined Great Gatbsy. Nick lives in New York and his time with Daisy, Jordan, and Gatsby still haunts him. One night in the city, the past catches back up to him...
Nghi Vo crafts a stunning world that teases at the imagination and tears down conventional rules. I loved the mysterious magic and deals with devils. Nick and Gatsby have an electric and treacherous connection. I enjoyed the cameos from Jordan and her wise advice to Nick. I couldn’t put it down! Readers who seek mysterious magic, queer reimaginings, and beautiful writing will enjoy Don’t Sleep with the Dead.
