An unexplained death is a great hook for a psychological thriller. If the dead one is a little boy and the narrator the father, you can look forward to something new, something interesting. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

This is a novel where you can actually count the total number of words - I mean manually, not using word count - and its less than 1,000 words in all. Given its curious size and shape, the red heart on the cover, and the lush black-and-white photographs, you could mistake it for a coffee table book. Except that it's not, and is actually a work of fiction that takes its job seriously. It's a story narrated through photographs, about the dankness that pervades many a childhood.
