Death Thing by Andrew Hilbert
5.0
Death Thing is a bizarre trip through a surreal moment in time. It follows a man whose anger turns into an obsession. Detailing loss, mania and the progression from self centered to complete madness.
There were several moments that felt like I was reading a Slasher Story. And at one point Gilbert states that he only cares about himself and others in relation to himself.
Is that a statement on the self destructive nature of narcissism? Is it a window through which we can view our own oncoming dementia and demise? Or does Hilbert just enjoy writing some fucked up stuff?
Either way, I enjoyed the book immensely.
