    About this ebook

    When Martin Main slips out of his own story and into the mind of his creator, all the rules he’s ever known come undone. At first, Martin just wants to understand who he really is. Soon he has a bigger question: Who made who?

    What if a player takes over the play...?

    What if an inmate takes over the asylum...?

    What if the asylum...is the play...is reality?

    The Double Crossing is a dark-SF story that questions the nature of identity. It’s about 7,200 words.

      Three other works that stuck with me this year involved men in trouble, one farcical take on contemporary society and two sly, meta-literary comedies. The post A Year in Reading: Matt Seidel appeared first on The Millions.
