Synopsis
Eric Sanderson wakes up in a house he doesn’t recognize, unable to remember anything of his life. All he has left are his diary entries recalling Clio, a perfect love who died under mysterious circumstances, and a house that may contain the secrets to Eric’s prior life. But there may be more to this story, or it may be a different story altogether. With the help of allies found on the fringes of society, Eric embarks on an edge-of-your-seat journey to uncover the truth about himself and to escape the predatory forces that threaten to consume him.Review:
This was a crazy intense book. I didn't know what to think when I
started it but I got immediately sucked into this strange world. I
honestly don't even know how to review this book. It is on such a grand
scale of completely strange and interesting concepts I am in awe of the
author. How he could even keep up the plot left me stumped.
If you have read
House of Leaves you will
enjoy this mind bender of a book. It leaves you rethinking your memory
loss and if alternate realities exist and what the mind can do. It deals
in concepts and ideas but as if they are real tangible things.
Eric Sanderson
is in the middle of all this when he wakes not remembering anything about his
life. As he embarks on an adventure to figure out what happened to him
and how to stop it from taking any more of his life he finds himself in
another world inside this one. It's truly a spectacular story once you
grasp it.
