A very interesting tale of a man who survived the crash that killed his wife.
Now in the care of his mother in law, he soon discovers that he is in danger. At times tense, other times sad, and still other times sweet or funny.
Highly recommend!

This book is a quick, bleak, terrifying read. The prose is terse and clean feeling, written in close third person from the perspective of utterly dislikable and newly disabled protagonist, Oghi. Oghi has awaken from a coma after a car accident which killed his wife, and finds himself almost completely paralyzed and in the care of his mother-in-law, who quickly begins to discover the dark underbelly of Oghi's marriage to her daughter. This book was a fascinating melding of body horror and more classical horror elements, and a striking appraisal of society's treatment of disabled people.

The Hole is a binge-worthy read. It has the same trappings as Stephen King's Misery including his proclivity to fuck up the ending. Parts are poignant but mostly it's a book about how horrible it is to be disabled.
