I honestly couldn't get past how shitty the main character was to even try to enjoy the story much. The ... "answer," I guess you could call it, to the mystery is interesting, but I really can't get past reading a bunch of slurs on the opening pages to get into the story. Especially from the focal character. ( )
Fascinating psychological thriller by the genius that is Alan Moore. My only complaint is that it was too short and so much more could have been done with it. As a short story, it was excellent, but as a psychological thriller it was too rushed. Just as you felt things were getting started, it finished and there was too much unexplained. Excellent ending though! ( )
