Yeager already liked my review, so I suppose that's a good sign.
I feel it now and it'll only be worse in the future.more Pressing down the notches between your spine, driving your ankles and knees to ruin. Days turn to weeks turn to months turn to seasons turn to years, until your life resides in just one moment expanding forever, where each step and breath folds wrinkles into your face, carving minute, irreversible wounds between your joints. However, this is probably not a book recommended for parents of teenagers, unless you want to spend every night sleepless and gnawing your fingernails in the throes of anxiety. It is a very dark story but not without its shafts of light. The darkly poetic cast of his prose adds layers of texture to the narrative. The characters are all somewhat archetypal in nature this is fine, though, as it helps situate the reader in a teenage milieu many should find familiar, and Yeager imbues each teen with enough personality to make them engaging characters. Throughout the book Yeager displays a keen insight into youth culture and a sharp ear for dialogue.
Yeager takes his time in fully explicating the significance of WHORL and the particulars of its use (and abuse), which is good because this uncertainty in the reader’s mind is what fuels the narrative engine. It’s unclear whether it is the user’s intention or simply their innate nature that determines whether the power will be used for good or evil, but regardless we see examples of both play out in the book. This portal can facilitate access to supernatural powers. At any rate, in the novel WHORL is a drug that opens a portal to another realm of existence. I never did try salvia, although if I’d discovered it earlier I probably would have. The reported details around the high obtained from this drug did not hold much appeal to me, and I think our only interest came from the fact that salvia was legal and relatively easy to access through the mail, unlike other drugs which had to be procured from sketchy dudes you never wanted to actually hang out with, like this novel's character Kai (spot on, that). First came the rumors of kids committing suicide after taking salvia, and then came actual confirmed cases. When WHORL appeared in the book, the first drug that came to my mind was salvia, a drug my friends and I started hearing about probably in the late 90s, early 2000s. Popping pills first thing in the morning, smoking weed all day long, winding down in the evening with some shrooms or acid…and then there is WHORL. They take a lot of drugs, and I mean a lot of drugs. For these kids life in this town is a stultifying existence, as evidenced by the copious amount of drugs they consume. When WHORL appeared i Horrifying in a compulsively readable way, Negative Space charts the erratic and disturbing movements of a group of teens living in a small New Hampshire town.
