More about the book
The story features Billy, a boy abducted by aliens who grotesquely replace his organs with peculiar objects, resulting in a split identity. As he watches his doppelgänger steal his life, including his family and love, Billy grapples with his fragmented self. The narrative is further complicated by a mysterious pamphlet, "The Book from the Sky," potentially authored by another version of himself. This imaginative tale blends elements of adventure and existential exploration, drawing comparisons to the works of Iris Murdoch and Robert Charles Wilson while showcasing Kelly's unique voice.
