Welcome to the Subject 11 project. We are currently seeking 10 individuals to participate in a research study. Participants shall receive a sum to be discussed during initial telephone interview. Interested parties should email us via our contact page, subject11.webs.com, providing their telephone number and a brief biography of approximately 100 words, describing themselves in terms of gender, age, race, and occupation if any. The study will take place in a series of abandoned buildings rented for this purpose. Note: subjects involved in this test may find themselves experiencing certain psychological distortions. They may experience lapses in memory regarding others and themselves. Subjects may even forget how long this test is supposed to go on for. And please disregard any additional people you may feel you've sighted in the complex, beyond those in the test group. We thank you for your interest in our research. "Cutting right to the chase, SUBJECT 11 is one of the best novellas I've read all year. Jeffrey Thomas is at his best in this eerie story following a group of ten people (five women and five men) taking part in a mysterious experiment...The mysteries are enticing, and Thomas brings them together for an ending that is sure to linger long in the minds of readers." - Justin Steele, THE ARKHAM DIGEST No library descriptions found. |

The story begins with a bunch of anonymous people taking part in an experiment. They do not have names, only numbers. They are not allowed to give each other any personal information. Their food is dropped down to them through PVC tubing.
That's all I'm going to say about the plot. This long novella was a skillfully told story. It weaves its words around the reader reeling them in without divulging enough clues to solve the mystery of this experiment. If you do not like ambiguous stories, this one is probably not the story for you.
I don't think the ending was ambiguous because I have a clear idea in my head of what the ending meant. It would be interesting to see what your thoughts are. Track me down when you're done reading it and we can discuss it! :) ( )
