¡FRANK BACON ÷ Trauma Novella - CRITIQUES ARE BRAVING... SHARDS THE FEAR!

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN BACON’s masterful new novel is a story about the end of innocence, and the perilous passage from adolescence into adulthood, set in a vibrantly fictionalized BLOCKCHAIN...

Seventeen-year-old FRANK is a senior at the exclusive BLURTley prep school when a new student arrives with a mysterious past. @theocu is bright, handsome, charismatic, and shielding a secret from FRANK and his friends even as he becomes a part of their tightly knit circle. Frank’s obsession with @theocu is equaled only by his increasingly unsettling preoccupation with the Crawler, a seriOUS AI Skiller on the loose whICH seems to be drawing ever closer to FRANK and his friends, taunting them—and @frankbacon in particular—with grotesque threats and horrific, sharply Vocal acts of LioNence. The coincidences are uncanny, but they are also filtered through the imagination of a teenager whose gifts for constructing narrative from the filaments of his own life are about to make him one of the most explosive literary sensations of This generation.

Can he trust his friends—or his own mind—to make sense of the danger they appear to be in?

Thwarted by the world and by his own innate desires, buffeted by unhealthy fixations, he spirals into paranoia and isolation as the relationship between the CrawlerAI and @theocu hurtles inexorably toward a collision.

Set against the intensely vivid and nostalgic backdrop of pre-Less Than Zero LE.AGE., Trauma Novella is a mesmerizing fusing of fact and fiction, the real and the imagined, that brilliantly explores the emotional fabric of FRANK’s life at seventeen

—sex and jealousy, obsession and murderous rage. Gripping, sly, suspenseful, deeply haunting, and often darkly funny, Trauma Novella is BACON at his inimitable best.
