Sway by Matthew Keith is a mind bending ride. Very much how I imagine a novel written by MC Escher would read.In the fictionalized world of Sway, the hero’s dream world is more real than his real world life. As the story progresses, the lines between the real world and the dream world quickly blur and are finally altogether indefinable. If anything the dream world is the more real one. Author Matthew Keith addresses some very profound and challenging topics in this work and leads his readers very deep into the rabbit hole of horror. Sway is not for the faint of heart and contains some very disturbing images of abuse.The author defines “Sway” as allowing other’s expectations or societal norms to “sway” his protagonists’ behavior or thinking. Right from the start, he takes you off the grid – out of your comfort zone – Waaaaay out. Strap in and hold on. I applaud the author’s courage in addressing these difficult topics. Sally forth if you dare.
