The Review:
A fantastic and terrifying tale of relationships, obsession, psychological damage, and possession told from the first-person perspective. An easy and fast read that can be finished in one sitting and that makes it an even better candidate for recommendations.
This book may be read in one sitting, but the impression it will make on your mind will endure a long time. Even the faintest sound, such as a creak or a tap, will startle you.
I call it an incredibly written novella because of its size but the way it is written is proof of how clever and genius Sara Gran is in her craft. The story starts innocently but it is like water being boiled and the more it gets heated the more it starts to boil and that is how you are going to feel with the progression of the tale.
It is scary and a lot more creepy in many other ways than a normal horror novel because some of the readers can actually see themselves In place of the main character and basically relate to her and then the possession, which can be a stuff of nightmares for many readers.
This review is brief since I don't want to give anything away about the narrative by writing anything about it except that it is highly recommended. The only reason I'm giving it fewer points is because of its size and the fact that it's not for everyone, but the only way for a reader to find out is to read it. I believe that if a book receives more than 50% points, it is readable by most people, with a few exceptions. As a result of this theory, this book has higher recommendations and is readable by the majority of readers.
Synopsis:
““What begins as a sly fable about frustrated desire evolves into a genuinely scary novel about possession and insanity. Hypnotic” (Bret Easton Ellis, author of American Psycho).
A recurrent, unidentifiable noise in her apartment. A memo to her boss that’s replaced by obscene insults. Amanda—a successful architect in a happy marriage—finds her life going off kilter by degrees. She starts smoking again, and one night for no reason, without even the knowledge that she’s doing it, she burns her husband with a cigarette. At night she dreams of a beautiful woman with pointed teeth on the shore of a blood-red sea.
The new voice in Amanda’s head, the one that tells her to steal things and talk to strange men in bars, is strange and frightening, and Amanda struggles to wrest back control of her life. Is she possessed by a demon, or is she simply insane? Described as “a new kind of psychological thriller” by George Pelecanos and “this year’s scariest novel” by Time Out New York, Come Closer has become a modern classic “with a kick that will stay with the reader for days afterward” (The Dallas Morning News).”
