- The novel´s narrator is Toby Hawke, an 18-year-old student who is most explicitly in love with his mother. Toby sounds less like he´s telling a story and more like he´s recounting a nightmare. The characters are huge and mysterious, the type of monolithic creatures that threaten or dominate in dreams.

The trouble with a nightmare is that it´s difficult to control. So it is with Toby and his living dream. Toby and his mother are hotly pursued by her lover, Roehm. Roehm is a snake-skinned, hulking character with, one imagines, the charm and seductive powers of a mob boss. Toby and his mother close; so close in fact, that his nightmare becomes one suitable for Freud´s couch.

Critics have praised Duncker for mining Freud and Shelley -- the latter of which she quotes extensively. She would be better described as elegant Ann Rice with a greater economy of writing. She´s written a chilling tale that -- though it trips over itself a bit -- still manages to be flat-out freaky.
