Amazon Synopsis:
Franklin feels alone in life. One fateful night, he gets a curious text from a stranger, Lynda, another resident of his apartment building. She convinces him to come over, against his better judgment, and surprisingly the night seems to be going great, despite a little awkwardness.
However, it's clear that Lynda is living with demons that are in desperate need of exercising, as everything inside her apartment seems to trigger some dark memory buried deep within her psyche. In hopes of helping her escape the prison that is her home, he invites her over to his place, but the problems only get worse, to the point he fears she won't make it through the night.
Just when he feels the night has reached peak insanity, he discovers her madness is rubbing off on him…
Review:
“She dissolved just yesterday, and though I can’t fathom ever forgetting her, I’ve decided to write down the details of our meeting, of those few precious hours, for the hours changed me…”
Franklin lives in The Eighth Block Tower. He receives a text from a woman he does not know, a random dial. Out of curiosity and boredom he decides to answer. He realizes that she also lives in the same building and when he is invited over to her place he decides to go. What ensues is the strangest, the weirdest and most confusing night of his life.
Being the second installment of The Bedlam Bible Series, I could not wait to get started. I was excited to once again visit The Eighth Block Tower.
This one focuses on two main characters. Franklin and Lynda. It focuses on their dynamics as residents of the building and their human dysfunctionality. It breaks into the mind's thought processes of trying to deal with the outside world and how it affects the inner self.
“Society forces us all to become some strange version of ourselves that simply isn’t accurate, so it makes all of us uncomfortable and awkward as we interact with one another. Some of us are so crippled by these thoughts that we feel anxiety just at the idea of leaving our homes and going out into the world.”
Although this sticks with the theme of the strange and bizarre, dripping with gross moments, it also has deeper content that is very relatable.
The isolating atmosphere sets the scene and drags us through the dark and salty halls of the tower.
Creatively creepy!
Five Star Worthy!
Gloom and Doom
Horrific and uncanny!
Mind Blowing!
