4.0 out of 5 stars
a modern psychological mythology story,
By M. Mulligan "Linwe" (Toms River or Manalapan, depending on the day) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Helmet Of Horror (Kindle Edition)
This was a required reading text for my mythology class a few years back; I never would have picked up this book otherwise and I'm really glad I did. This was an amazingly well done work, told entirely through internet chat-room like discourse - details of the world's surroundings and inhabitants is gained only through what the characters share with each other in a chat-room which is their only means of interaction/communication with the "outside" world and the others. They all seem to be prisoners in a strange labyrinthine world. There mythology story is loosely a Theseus and the Minotaur parallel, with "characters" who randomly interject themselves into conversations using such chatnames. And that's another strange aspect of the world - their usernames have some kind of connection to the people behind them, but appear to be both accurate and inaccurate.An excellent read for those interested in a modernized mythology story and for those interested in psychology and the reactions of people in a very isolated world. Highly recommended. |
