Inhaltsangabe

DARK PSYCHOLOGICAL SHORT STORY NARRATED BY A PSYCHOPATHIC KILLER. 'I couldn’t believe it as I looked at them. They were aliens. Actual aliens......I hadn’t auditioned for this, had I?' So concludes a confused Jack Hansen, as he is thrust into an enigmatic play, armed with nothing more than a redundant moral compass. Power, destruction, depression, alienation – all are at the centre of this unsettling tale in which two actors battling personality disorders struggle to find a role for themselves within the theatre. Amidst the feigned emotions of Jack Hansen and the torturous rants of Leonard Harper, events take a darker turn, and some powerful questions emerge that pave the way for their deadly crime - how can you belong to the world if you don’t feel connected to it, and how can you respect the world if you don’t belong to it? This is a real must-read for people interested in psychopathy - with its truly devious narrator and its original portrayal of 'the psychopath - this is sure to be a new cult classic.
