Reviews

[Rick Powell · Rating 4 out of 5]

A story of a man obsessed. This short novel reminds me, in a way, of Poe’s The Cask of Amontillado in that the antagonist’s reasoning is clouded by revenge. This book reminds me of Stephen Gilbert’s Ratman’s Notebooks but with a Shakespearean feel. An engaging read!
