About this listen

As a young man, Leon Nader suffered from insomnia. As a nightwalker, he even turned to violence during his nocturnal excursions and had psychiatric treatment for his condition.

Eventually he was convinced he had been cured - but one day, years later, Leon's wife disappears from their flat under mysterious circumstances. Could it be that his illness has broken out again?

In order to find out how he behaves in his sleep, Leon fits a movement-activated camera to his forehead - and when he looks at the video the next morning he makes a discovery that bursts the borders of his imagination. His nocturnal personality goes through a door that is totally unknown to him and descends into the darkness....

This is exceptionally daft. Some reviewers seem to have found it confusing for some reason. It’s not, it’s just very silly. The actual story is ridiculous and I found it quite oddly written but that may be because it’s been translated from German. It was enjoyable enough to listen to but I wouldn’t say it was a good book.

Silly

I've read / listened to most of Sebastian's books. While I've enjoyed every single one I do feel like this is one of his weakest stories.
With his other books there always was a bit of suspense and head scratching. However with the Nightwalker it seemed a little but far fetched from the start. Then the conclusion seemed like a bit of a cop out.
Not a bad book but not up there with the likes of Passenger 23.

Not Fitzek's best work

I loved this book as it had a great storyline with many twists and turns. It's a testament to the brilliance of the author, that the reader could easily keep up with the twisting plot. Loved it!

A good read!
