Warning's Wane - June BOTM

[Ipshita]

Upon notification of his mother-in-law's failing health, Paul Danniers agrees to move with his wife, Colleen, to Praxia Island, a small town off the coast of Maine. The two suddenly find themselves thrust into a society of recluses who obey a peculiar set of rules, including Disappearance - the belief that if two people touch, they disappear.

As their stay extends into months, Paul enters an uncertain spiral of paranoia, and, with the help of the curious and sometimes terrifying residents, begins to uncover the island's secrets - most troubling of which is a deep-rooted connection that Colleen seems to have with the town, one that threatens to possess her entirely.

A lucid adaptation of the myth of the Sirens, Warning's Wane is a dizzying study of madness, isolation, and the power of the collective unconscious.

It is one of the best I have read so far in this genre, as debut. Jac did so well with this one and her whole experience from her current job and academics collectively proved worthy. This is book-turned-movie thing. Some big Studio must pick it up for the same. It'll surely be as great as Shutter Island.
