Coup de Grâce by Sofia Ajram, 139 pages.
Vicken steps off the metro on his way to his suicide and finds himself not near the St. Lawrence River, but in an incomprehensible structure of seemingly infinite architecture. It is a place seemingly designed for people, but conspicuously empty, and filled instead with a creeping sense of wrongness that threatens to swallow him forever.This strange, experimental novel is twisty in a way that is frequently hard to follow. It's unsettling and weird, but I also found it very compelling at times. A good spooky season read.
