Reactions and Reviews

This story is about a haunting, and takes you into a world where you're as confused and disconcerted as Iphicles, who wakes up one day to find himself dead. He's as surprised by this as we are, and moves through an eerily-beautiful landscape trying to solve his own murder. It's a mythological D.O.A., a noirish piece where no one's what they seem, like an X-Files ep that's been dipped in Belgian chocolate. You don't know who to trust, or what, and Strandia gives enough twists to satisfy erotic mystery fans, and does it with a rich, vivid style. But it's not simply a well-crafted piece; I found myself so close to Iphicles that when he finally discovers the complicated truth, I screamed at the computer. Strandia literally takes us to hell and (mostly) back with this one.
