About this audiobook
A paranoid reader discovers what he believes is a literal alien invasion hidden in plain sight within the pages of a paperback novel. Taking everyday idioms entirely literally, he becomes convinced that extraterrestrial beings can detach their body parts and casually manipulate their physical forms. His growing panic turns an ordinary commute into a hilarious, yet unsettling, descent into linguistic madness. Enjoy a brilliant, bite-sized satirical story that plays brilliantly with the quirks of the English language and the fragility of the human mind.
