SAN FRANCISCO - s4story -- For over a decade, Ryan Hurd's books have helped numerous people deal with that frightening feeling of being held down while asleep. This Halloween, Enlightened Hyena Press will be releasing the second paperback edition of Hurd's 2010 classic text, Sleep Paralysis: A Guide to Hypnagogic Visions and Visitors of the Night.

"Ryan Hurd's well-researched, newly updated, and profoundly insightful book examines this fascinating and often frightening subject with great depth and abundant personal experience, as well as new and intriguing perspectives," notes Dreaming Wide Awake author David Jay Brown.

A revised and updated edition of Sleep Paralysis seems to be arriving at the perfect time.

"Recent movies and the disclosures of prominent celebrity sufferers (e.g., Billie Eilish; Kendall Jenner) have helped move sleep paralysis out of the academy and into the popular imagination," remarks clinical psychologist and sleep paralysis expert, Brian A. Sharpless. "Hurd's interesting and extremely readable book will help to satisfy the public's curiosity."
