Cut
Reality
by
Zack Hacker
Genre:
Psychological Thriller, Suspense
When the specter of death comes to reality TV, who's to blame?
After
a reality television competitor dies during filming, it sends the
cast reeling. Follow Jason Debord as he takes on the role of amateur
detective to gain clarity into the death of a reality TV co-star and
ends up uncovering criminal conspiracy.
When
Jason returned home from competing on Beached, he'd lost weight,
couldn't sleep, and felt more alone than ever. But he expected those
changes. Jason had no way to predict that one of his fellow
competitors would fling himself from a cliff. Unless he didn't. Jason
can't believe it, but the network presents coverage of the alleged
suicide to the world.
Seeing
motive in every crew member's movements, Jason compiles evidence of
conspiracy, only to be met with resistance from the cast and network
alike. He persists only through the support of his developing
relationship with Blake, a psychologist who observes alarming
similarities between her patient and her partner. Events in Cut
Reality have a variety of interpretations. Ultimately, Jason has to
decide while under the watchful eye of the public: is his
understanding too coincidental to be believed, or so shocking because
it's his new reality.

ReplyDeleteIt's different -- gets my attention
ReplyDeleteI find the cover a bit boring, it doesn't really catch my eye. I'd have liked to see something more of a stark contrast between the glamour of reality TV and the dirty reality. like a cover split in two.
