Armageddon House by Michael Griffin
5.0
Bloody Brilliant!
This book starts off relatively reminiscent of stories depicting dystopian rule and a lot of isolation. Four characters (Mark, Jenna, Polly, and Greyson) are indeed isolated in what is assumed to be an underground bunker or some deep government secret testing facility. Tension between characters are high. There’s a bully, a mentally ill person, a leader, and what could very well be a passive aggressive psychopath.
At about the half way mark, the story becomes weird and just gets weirder and weirder until the whole thing climaxes into one strange and phantasmagorical mess. I mean that in the best possible way. It’s a play on our own reality and constantly questions what it means to be alive as a human being.
This is the type of stuff I like to read best. It makes you think, continuously making you question what’s going on. It does this from the very beginning, and once it has its hooks deep into your flesh, it twists the chains and pulls.
Much food for thought here. Also, it’s bloody brilliant. Highly recommended!
