***** – Byn Always has written a psychological thriller of the first water – a book that can stand with Robert Bloch’s Psycho or Stephen King’s Gerald’s Game. The story is a simple one – a young woman is kidnapped by a madman and kept prisoner in a basement for a year. The ensuing chain of events is simultaneously predictable, surprising, logical and warped enough to keep the reader enthralled. I read the book in a single sitting, and my hat’s off to anyone who can put it down. The story is eminently dark (how could it be anything else?) but surprisingly, it left me filled with the power of hope, friendship, loyalty and life. It’s a remarkable story that should not be missed.
