Disturbia

Meet Eric. He has a house in the suburbs with a beautiful garden that he doesn't care about, a wife he hates, constant psychotic hallucinations, and a compulsion to torture and murder other people. He can safely be said to be living the American nightmare. Even his simple pleasure of mowing the lawn is denied to him when his lawn mower breaks down.

The Tomato Garden by Ben Arzate is a shocking bit of horror. Eric is apparently a serial killer, but he suffers from so many violent delusions, it's difficult to tell what is actually happening and what is something purely in his head. I'm not even sure if his interactions with his wife are real. For some reason, I really enjoyed the talking dog giving Eric advice.

The scariest part of this story is the reality of the mental illness destroying Eric's grasp of reality. The ending is a blessing.

As always,
