And that’s not easy in a city where reality is twisting and broken, a world in which friends can become enemies in a heartbeat – and where your most secret fear can become a soul-shredding reality.And the worst of it is, for this nightmare you don’t even have to be asleep…Considered a modern classic, and consistently featured in lists of Books To Read Before Your Head Explodes, ONLY FORWARD is a novel you'll never forget.
