This is the first of a series of four short novels, which together make a complete story. In the Black Room  could be read as a complete story but the ending would be unsatisfactory. As such these books are quite expensive when you add up the four prices. I couldn't find the four together in one book, but I could have  missed it. Despite this criticism I read most of this in one sitting and found it very interesting.Charlie Wilkes, a seemingly normal citizen, wakes up suddenly to find himself inside the head of a lady of similar age to himself, named Minnie. He is looking out from inside her mind. Charles then spends some time working out what is happening and introducing himself to Minnie. She of course freaks out and he has to prove he is not a delusional voice in her head. He works out after some time he is in a parallel world. A lot of the story is about the developing relationship between Minnie and Luke and their past and present lives. As stated previously the book has an ending but I needed to find out what happened afterwards.
