A riveting, page-turning tale of obsession, blurred boundaries, and the fragile line between sanity and madness…
Lively thrusts readers into the fractured psyche of a man teetering between reality and his darkest fears. Simon Steed’s once-steady life—rooted in his legal career and love of classic rock—shatters as eerie events unfold around the supposedly vacant house next door. Flickering lights at odd hours, anonymous complaints about a dog he doesn’t own, and the mysterious presence of his neighbor, Raven, all pull Simon into a nightmarish fixation. Will he ever escape this web of paranoia? Lively’s writing is rich in atmospheric tension, capturing both Simon’s internal conflicts and the eerie calm of his surroundings. The narrative structure mirrors Simon’s deteriorating mental state, drawing readers into his unease and desperate search for answers. Each character, from the elusive Raven and cryptic Dr. Roberts to the enigmatic Never Storm, adds layers to the mystery, leaving readers constantly questioning what is real and what is a figment of Simon’s imagination. This ambiguity heightens the suspense and invites readers to piece together clues as the plot unravels. Throughout, the book delves into profound themes of identity, loneliness, and the human quest for understanding.
An emotionally charged psychological thriller that explores the complexities of the human experience.
