Switchboard by Andrew Post is one of those books that has you sitting back in your seat and saying “Wow!” You feel like you are in a dark vortex with nothing but nightmares around you reading this book.

Police Lieutenant Dwayne Spare has spent his career attempting to pin down Gerald Metzger a chemist who has a product called Krokodil, a horrific product that should not be on the streets, but every time they fail to get him. Dwayne has the opportunity to go undercover and find everything out he can in order to throw the book at Gerald Metzger.

You would think everything would be great now… Nope, Dwayne is found out and pumped full of Krokodil in order to be a test subject for Gerald’s experiment in using people to be something similar to a telephone, to connect to a horrific dark monster. The story is a rather surreal, dark experience in which nightmares seem to become reality or is reality a nightmare?

Andrew Post has most definitely written a dark, dark tale of the machinations of the human psyche. Scary and horrific in parts, it highlights how far people will go to to get what they need. There are lighter parts as well where hope shines through, we all need that. Thank you, Anne Cater, from Random Things Tours for allowing me to be a part of this dark book!
