Personal Effects: Dark Art by Jordan
Weisman
Awsome!
Personal Effects follows the extensive notes of therapist Zach Taylor’s
investigation into the life and madness of Martin Grace, an accused serial
killer who claims to have foreseen, but not caused, his victims’ deaths.
Zach’s investigations start with interviews and art sessions, but then take
him far from the hospital grounds—and often very far from the reality that
we know.
The items among Grace’s personal effects are the keys to understanding
his haunted past, and finding the terrifying truth Grace hoped to keep
buried:
• Call the phone numbers: you’ll get a character’s voicemail.
• Google the characters and institutions in the text: you’ll find real websites

• Examine the art and other printed artifacts included inside the cover: if
you pay attention, you’ll find more information than the characters
themselves discover Personal Effects, the ultimate in voyeuristic
storytelling, represents a revolutionary step forward in changing the way
people interact with novels.
Personal Review: Personal Effects: Dark Art by Jordan
Weisman
Personal Effects: Dark Art starts out with a direct mystery: how can
someone who is blind be responsible for a dozen terrible, twisted murders
-- and how can an art therapist possibly help?
That is only the beginning..
The story has layers of mystery, woven together, crossing over, melding
into one another, doubling back, extending tendrils in multiple directions..
And it brings real characters, who have personalities, quirks,
determinations, ideas.. They speak and act as individuals -- not in
subservient slavishness to the story, but as real people.
Turns out, they blur the line between "real" and "fictional" people..
The book is a thrillride, all by itself. But it's *not* all by itself. It comes with a
packet of stuff, most of which is directly mentioned in the story. You want
to know what they did to figure something out? It's right there.
But the book is also the introduction to something more... There are things
in there which aren't mentioned, or which seem to tell more than than what
was written. The book is the entry point into an alternate reality game
(ARG). The book sets the stage, gives you the opening acts, gets you
creepily familiar with the setting and some of the pieces -- and then, you go
find the rest.
The book is a complete story, great on its own. But it's not the end, if you
want more.
Buy it. Read it. Think about it. Look at it. Hold it. Examine it.
Move the story beyond fiction. Reach out and grab it.
I'm going down the rabbithole. I want more -- *need* to know more.
Buy the book. Join me there.
