Although the book is fictitious, Crowe has delivered a disturbing insight into a delusional mind. I felt completely immersed in this window of insanity. (I particularly like the non-linear concept of time, as I feel that it is quite realistic an pertinent to the psychopathy of the narrator.) She's managed to pull off a completely first person account without leaving the reader feeling like they were missing the descriptiveness of an omniscient 3rd person narrator. I am impressed.
With her short story Absorbed, Crowe has presented an emergence from co-dependence and psychological and physical abuse. The means to this growth can be perceived as supernatural (especially considering the protagonist's actions for ridding herself of the detrimental in her life), but I believe that it is effectively symbolic for finding and incorporating one's inner strength.
I started ready this and wasn't sure I would like it as it's in diary form but I ended getting pulled into this story..it's a journal of a quick descent into madness and you find yourself swimming around in the spinning vortex.Some of the entries are bizarre, surreal, horrifying and then there are a few glimpses of sanity within the chaos. I would recommend this to people who like psychological horror.

The subtle twists from what seems to be such a wonderful thing, into something much darker and more sinister helps to draw you into the piece and really makes you wonder just who you're supposed to be rooting for.
I enjoyed the link back to something historical, and the gift makes me think of an 'Artifact' from the show Warehouse 13. Looking back, I could almost expect to have seen Pete and Myka show up to retrieve it.
The ending throws you for a loop in some ways, and really does leave you unsure of whether or not you should be happy for the outcome... And at the same time, not sure you'd have wanted it to go any other way.… (mehr)
