Articoli correlati a Going Loco: A Comedy of Terrors
Belinda Johansson is a woman frantic. Deep in research for her magnum opus - a definitive account of the doppelganger in classic gothic fiction - she fails to notice the echoes of these ghoulish tales disturbingly close at hand. For not only is the cleaning lady taking over her life, but the identity of her husband, Stefan, is also in question. Is he a harmless geneticist from Sweden, or actually a cunning clone? And what on earth has the rat circus to do with any of this? GOING LOCO is a real onion of a book - just peel back the layers and weep with laughter.
