Bedfellow
by Jeremy C. Shipp
This was a wonderful read. It takes lots of twists and turns, and reality is constantly changing as a stranger enters a family's house soon to become ingrained in their memories as the most important person in their lives. The occasional headaches, fuzzy details, and waking up with strange new memories doesn't alert them to the danger in their own home.
What I enjoyed most as I was reading this is how the story just kind of mixes and melts into a new story at every turn. New memories just keep showing up in each family member's heads and we, the readers, are left momentarily dazed just as the characters are. But it works so well. The writing is so fluid and descriptive that there's no confusion as to what's happening to them. We don't know exactly WHY it's happening, but we know Marv can't be trusted. The characters know it too, but that knowledge is buried so deep in their subconscious. We can only hope they find some way to access their real memories before they go hurtling into whatever final destination Marv has planned for them.
