Once dark and contemporary, it's now antique, green and yellow, and smelling faintly of damp. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIts appearance and origins are a mystery. A joke? An inverted theft? A break in the fabric of reality? Yes, the police take the \"crime\" seriously. But what happens next lies outside their expertise. Strange sounds in the night. A half-bathroom toilet with a mind of its own. Odd, fleeting glimpses of something (or someone) in mirrors. The inexplicable vision of Montessori's neighbor: He swears he saw a burglar. . . . \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMontessori's quest for answers will take him to a dank highway overpass in decayed upstate New York, a very strange dry-cleaning supply concern in outermost Queens, and into the depths of an eerie, warped forest where time and space no longer connect, all while putting his ever-more-troubled marriage and young family in grave danger. But that's what it costs to find out if we own our possessions -- or if they own us. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMunson emerges as a master stylist in this tense, taut work of surreal humor and psychological horror.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSam Munson\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eDog Symphony\u003c\/i\u003e (New Directions), \u003ci\u003eThe War Against the Assholes\u003c\/i\u003e (Saga), and \u003ci\u003eThe November Criminals\u003c\/i\u003e (Doubleday).
