Author interview

Curry’s latest novel is a razor-sharp exploration of identity, consciousness, and the fragile nature of reality. Micah Lawson wakes from a coma to find himself trapped in a maze of twisted realities. As he struggles to separate truth from illusion, he discovers a terrifying secret that threatens to upend everything he thought he knew—including his own identity.

Curry maintains a precise balance between pulse-pounding suspense and reflective introspection. The narrative unfolds in a tight, deliberate rhythm, alternating between scenes of palpable unease and quieter, more contemplative moments. Through vivid descriptions and precise language, the novel expertly conveys the disorientation and confusion of Micah’s experience, making his struggle to separate truth from illusion deeply felt and hauntingly real. Micah’s relationships, particularly with Sloane, serve as emotional anchors that ground the story in genuine human connection. Curry’s depiction of their dynamic is raw and authentic, capturing the complexity of love, loss, and the yearning for understanding in the face of overwhelming uncertainty.

Meanwhile, the enigmatic Dr. Chen provides intellectual counterpoints that add layers to the narrative, pushing Micah—and the reader—to question what’s real. Micah’s journey of self-discovery is fraught with contradictions and blurred boundaries, challenging readers to question the nature of their own perceptions. Throughout it all, the novel delves into the exploration of consciousness and memory, raising unsettling questions about the reliability of our own minds and the stories we tell ourselves. A twisted, unpredictable psychological thriller that will keep readers turning pages long into the night.
