Mysterious Skin
by Scott Heim
It's a book I read practically by mistake. I had never heard of it and just happened to stumble on it at a low price, was intrigued... and got caught in the story. Really bad.
It's the kind of book you think about long after you've finished it. And years later, something triggers a flashback from the story, and you think about it again. I just stays with you like that. That's how powerful this story is.
A few months after reading the book, I discovered a movie was made out of it. The movie was good, but I'm happy I read the book before I saw it. The book is much more anxiety-provoking. Much darker. I loved Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the role of Neil though, I think he quite nailed it.
