Nicholas, a would-be poet, and Nakota, his feral lover, discover a strange hole in the storage room floor down the hall - "Black. Pure black and the sense of pulsation, especially when you look at it too closely, the sense of something not living but alive." It begins with curiosity, a joke - the Funhole down the hall. But then the experiments begin. "Wouldn't it be wild to go down there?" says Nakota. Nicholas says "We're not." But they're not in control, not from the first moment, as those experiments lead to obsession, violence, and a very final transformation.

Love and Dread Meets Obsession
Revisado: 08-29-20
Joshua Saxon brings the perfect sense of impending doom and humor to his narration of The Cipher. Kathe Koja's award-winning novel takes on unexpected and new sharp edges in this reading as we follow Nicholas and Nakota on their addicted journey with the Funhole. On the surface it is the kind of fantastic tale that would defy logic. Why would our two misfits stay together? Why would they tempt the trespasses of the Funhole? When everything indicates madness this way lies why do they keep pressing forward? Koja explores the incremental lure of love and longing as we watch the two steps back one step forward relationship between all the characters. There are no heroes, no saviors, no act of God to make things alright as we follow this cast and their obsession with the potential for danger and horror in the Funhole. Joshua Saxon bluntly exposes the body horror and madness in his world weary presentation. It works wonderfully for this horror tale of the unknown temptation just within view, but unreachable by most. Highly recommended.
