Yes, I shit you not. That's what I'm working on now.
So far my first month of 2018 in writing has been a little slow, but so long as I'm making progress, I'm good. Anyway, yes, I'm working on something slightly different from what I usually write. The working title of the novel is literally called 'Phonehead', and its about a new app that completely entraps the user, such that their attention will be stuck on it. It gets worse from there, much, much worse.
I see it as a chance for me to take a breath of fresh air and work on something different - It's both horror and sci-fi in equal accord, with a little slap of the weird fiction juice. For this, I admit to have drawn some inspiration from Junji Ito - though it won't change my style profoundly because I found that we have a lot in common (except in terms of fame and wealth and skill :D).
Anyway, I am hoping that my inspiration for this book does not falter.
I would totally read Phonehead. Did you finish it?
