Voice of Our Shadow | Jonathan Carroll
1 post | 3 read | 3 to read
A lonely expatriate encounters a mysterious American couple Even as a child, Joseph Lennox was happy to live in his older brother Ross’s shadow. Sadistic and charming, Ross was blossoming into a teenage rebel when one day, down by the train tracks, Joe inadvertently shoves him onto the third rail. After that fatal afternoon, Joe tried to blend into the shadows, fleeing to Austria as soon as he graduated college. Now he lives in Vienna, enjoying the cozy dullness of empty cafés and old movie theaters, doing his best to forget the day he watched his brother die. But death is not through with Joe Lennox. India and Paul Tate are the first Americans he has befriended since settling in Vienna, and it isn’t long before their budding friendship takes a strange turn, exposing a dark passion that Joe thought he left behind long ago, beside his brother’s electrocuted body and the hot third rail. This ebook contains an all-new introduction by Jonathan Carroll, as well as an exclusive illustrated biography of the author including rare images from his personal collection.

I am never let down by the imagination in Carroll‘s books. 100% my favorite author. A shortie, but goodie… creepy, dark and cerebral. One of the only of his books I‘ve felt could be somewhat autobiographical, but nuts. At first, I felt like the end was a bit of a cop out, but after a day of contemplating it, I like the way it ended anyway. Open to interpretation in a few ways, to take as literal or metaphorical, gets your brain juices flowing.
