“John Irving meets Stephen King”
"If this works, it will let you live again." Those words convince eighteen year old Jamie Pepper to undergo a risky, experimental operation to treat the debilitating symptoms of early-onset Parkinson's disease. Within months his world is changed for the better. By the fall his college plans are seemingly back on track. Yet as Jamie enters the college world of classes, drinking, girls, and sex, visions from his past, and flashes from an unfamiliar present suggest that all is not as it would appear. Has Jamie been prowling in the night when he thinks he's been sleeping? And if so, is there now blood on his hands? On/Off follows a young man as he explores modern college life, the realms of the body and the mind, and the ways the past seems to sneak up and scramble even the most carefully plotted plans for the future.
What Reviewers are Saying:
“More than just another sex-fueled college romp, this provocative trip down the rabbit hole is packed with clever interactions, tense scenarios, and wonderfully defined characters. A dense psychological thriller that translates the fears and anxieties of young adulthood into a modern identity-bender. I'm excited to see what Attebery comes up with next!”
“This book is creepy and sensual, two of my favorite things. Along with being an engrossing tale of horror, the characters and setting bring the reader back to those special school years of drunken love and fun.”
“On/Off has a great balance of dramatic plot line, humor, as well as a dark undertone that builds throughout the story. In some ways the story line is almost a commentary on what is now the common college experience. I recommend this book and author, you will not be disappointed”
“Edgy, sexy, violent, and naughty. This is what your mother warned you against.... Get this book, stay up late and dig in. And remember this author's name, you'll be hearing more of it in the future.”
