BOOK X is a gripping, darkly atmospheric novel that blends psychological horror with the gritty realism of life on the road. The story follows an unnamed roadie, a man haunted by guilt and illness, as he recounts his experiences touring with a charismatic but sinister musician known only as "the Boss." The narrative unfolds through a series of fragmented, confessional chapters, each dripping with tension and dread. The prose is visceral and poetic, filled with vivid descriptions of decaying motels, bloodstained memories, and the relentless rhythm of the tour. Themes of complicity, moral decay, and the corrosive power of silence are explored with haunting precision. The Boss emerges as a chilling antagonist-a predator hiding in plain sight, his crimes echoed in the protagonist's unraveling psyche. The novel's structure, shifting between past and present, mirrors the protagonist's fractured mind, leaving the reader questioning what is real and what is hallucination. Mature content and for mature audiences only -not for the faint of heart.
