The Coma

From the internationally-renowned author of The Beach , a gripping mystery and stylistic tour de force that delves into the subconscious mind, with brilliantly disturbing results. ''A strange compelling ride into that realm where nothing is what it seems - and where night never really wakes up.'' Douglas Kennedy, The Times ''It''s great story to read, but also a lovely visual object to possess.'' Design Week ''C ompelling and chilling ... his father''s illustrations heighten the oddness.''
