This is one of the most unique thrillers I’ve ever read. The whole idea of the inner castle as a reflection of the external, multiple voices from the system speaking within the one body, and the sick (sick!) idea of the hunt…so creative… What a wild, twisted mystery, hurtling towards its paranormal psychotic spinning end, full of deeper meaning and social politics and multiple issues that careen towards a violent storm of explosive fireworks. I loved how distinct and individual each personality was throughout, each with their own voice to contribute, or to confound. Addictive writing!
This would be an incredible challenge to put on screen, but then: Fight Club…
