"A perfect horror novel."The author of "The Cabin at the End of the World," Paul Tremblay
A constant, indiscernible sound in her flat. a note to her supervisor in which vulgar remarks are substituted. Amanda, a prosperous architect in a fulfilling marriage, feels that little by little, her life is falling apart. She picks up smoking once again, and one night she burns her spouse with a cigarette—not even realizing she's doing it. She has nocturnal visions about a stunning lady on the coast of a crimson sea with sharp fangs.
Amanda fights to regain control of her life because of the weird and terrifying new voice in her brain that advises her to steal items and chat to strange guys in bars. According to a book on demon possession, the figure on the coast may represent the demon Naamah, who is recognized by Kabbalistic academics as Adam's second wife, who deceived him into becoming a parent by entering his dreams. In any case, Amanda realizes that she has to take something to change her life or watch it fall apart as the violence in her unpredictable behavior escalates.
A "Are You Haunted?" quiz and a brand-new post-script by the author are included in this reissue of the cult classic.
