In The Skin eBook Gary McMahon Reviews
'In The Skin' by Gary McMahon is a really strong short story that really impresses with its character details and its sense of being witness to a man losing his mind.
McMahon is a great writer, his books like the 'Concrete Grove' trilogy and the Thomas Usher 'Dead' books shows that he can write really incredible novels that not only stand alone but tie together to form a longer epic. With this story he shows that he can handle the short story format just as well.
Highly recommended. A very unsettling story told in a powerful way by a strong writer.
Dan's life is in turmoil, his wife is recovering from an attack and the whole of the family home is in turmoil. Called away to New York on business, his life becomes ever more fractured and then, when he returns home, neither his wife - nor, especially, his young son - seems to be the same. This is a terrifyingly bleak novella, about paranoia and identity and schizophrenia, of modern life and fatherhood that literally had my heart thudding as I raced through the final few pages. As a father, I never want to read anything that makes me feel like this again; as a reader, I'm aware that I've just read something truly momentous. This is a superbly told tale that I would highly recommend to those with a strong enough stomach.
This is the most I've enjoyed reading a story for probably three years or so.
It's superbly done. Bereft of emotion, told in a sparse and crisp style that lends to the feeling of a man dying slowly inside.
But then, it doesn't quiet take you where you expect to go. Things aren't exactly what they seem, and when you reach the point where you think you've got the story nailed, it goes further, deeper. It's unrelenting, and as other have said, it's bleak. But bleakness presented in such a poignant way (and achingly beautiful, in some respects) it feels kind of like Murakami but on a really nasty acid trip.
I read it in two sittings - maybe a couple of hours - whether you know Gary's work, or not, this is an excellent addition.

Gary McMahon is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. This tale of madness is short, brutal, and visual, and I feel a little dirty....soiled....stained....after reading it. This isn't a bad thing; it's just the affect McMahon' s words has on you.
