It leaves you with a hundred questions and the answers are not as obvious as they seem. It’s like a ride that you can’t get off and the horror film you can’t look away from. This novel is short, dark and terrifying. It seems that Amanda may have been possessed. they all begin to morph into something quite removed from her original character. The way she dresses, the choices she makes, the thoughts she has and the things she says. But this is just the beginning…Īmanda herself begins to change. Married, with a good job and a busy life, Amanda suddenly finds herself plagued by a strange tapping in her apartment. From the off you are grabbed by the throat and pulled into the world of Amanda and the strange things that are happening to her. It is easy to see why this book became a classic. Huge thanks to Josh Smith for my review copy. First published in 2003, it became a cult classic and was rereleased in the UK by Faber and Faber on 1st July this year. So, first up is Come Closer by Sara Gran. The three books in question are all different in subject matter but definitely all have some deliciously dark themes and over tones. Which is a fancy way of saying ‘three reviews’ in one blog post! I though I would have a go at my first Triple Decker Review! I have read some cracking stuff recently and so I don’t want to miss anything out when time is short so… I have been reading to escape the world and I seem to have accumulated quite a backlog of reviews. There has been work stuff, exam stuff, self isolation stuff. Life at the moment in our household feels a bit crazy.
