This is a superbly chilling story that primarily follows Joe, a somewhat unstable young man who has a habit of developing extremely unhealthy attachments to the women in his life.

Joe Goldberg's mind was so screwed up it was amazing the way he was able to twist things to satisfy his psyche. Such interesting stuff. I found this enthralling the way I did Dexter when he graced my TV (I haven't read the books...yet).
