Vincent Message was born in 1983. Les Veilleurs plunges us into the world of Oscar Nexus, a misfit who has just killed three people in the street before falling asleep over their bodies. Using this grisly tale as a starting point the novel then leads us into a fascinating exploration of madness and sleep. Using some formulae borrowed from the great Hollywood thrillers, the author paints a picture of the role the imaginary plays in a modern society which is fascinated by virtual worlds and the shady underside of reality
