Publisher's Synopsis
"Awareness of your presence is not triggered solely by the sight of your person. Your breath is audible, your heat noticeable, your movements make sounds and your weight depresses the fabric of the seat you're in. Invisibility doesn't make you invisible in any tight, quiet situation. That's the danger."
We've all fantasized about it: The wrongs we'd right, the barriers we'd skirt, the insider information that would make us rich, the unrestricted access to whatever turns us on. But that's the fantasy. This is the reality. And it's far more harrowing than any of those scenarios, because it's real-a first-person account of what truly happens when you become invisible. The overwhelming knowledge that it can't be possible infects every waking moment, undermines every decision, pollutes your dreams and drives you to find an answer, fast. Are you a freak, an experiment, a god or something else entirely? Are you insane? Should you see a doctor? How? And are you alone? Or are there others? "Everything gives me form-water, sweat, soap, makeup, dye, grass, dust, blood, tears, mud. Staying invisible is a chore and a half.""I bet. Still, I certainly didn't notice you lurking in the park, all the times I visited."
"Because you weren't looking for me. No one has a clue what they're missing, because they don't know to look for it, to look closely. God only knows what's out there, if we knew to look for it." "It's the sheer weight of realistic detail that makes this book so spellbinding. Once you realize that you're reading what would really, honestly happen if you became invisible, you can't put it down. All of the impediments, the dangers, the difficulties of remaining one hundred percent invisible, especially in any close situation-they're all there, and if you give yourself away, just once, the chase is on. You feel for this poor guy, and what he goes through." - editorial comment pre-publication. If you enjoy Vincent Gardner's work, there's plenty more to read!
