The New House - Modern Home Decor & Furniture for Stylish Living Rooms, Bedrooms & Offices | Perfect for Apartments, Dorms & Small Spaces

David Leo Rice has turned up the strangeness another notch. I’ve been a fan of his fictions for a while, especially Angel House, which at the time I read it was one of the most unusual and original novels I’d ever read. The New House propels us further out into a creepy and lush dream world of intoxicating hallucination and paradoxical causality, where characters transform from one to another, confidants and lovers might occupy the same body and communicate by the drawing of blood. We experience the clash of contemporary life and art in conflict with perverse atavistic visions, and where these contradictions merge to create a new world in their violent interaction. DLR gives us much to contemplate with the whole of our mind-body, with an aesthetic that bonds the cerebral to the savage visceral. A brutal and fascinating read!
