Book Overview
Nick is a runaway in desperate need of money and a safe place to sleep. That's when he meets Swan and the other human statues-a group of street artists who can turn themselves, almost, to stone. But soon Nick and Swan are spotted by Antonin, with his offer of a place at his artists' academy. Inside these ivy-covered walls is a world that's more like a cult than a theater school. And those students who leave, where do they really go?The deeper Nick digs, the more he's on the verge of uncovering the horrifying truth. A chilling, atmospheric thriller that unfolds to reveal grim secrets and startling revelations up to the very end.

Street Theatre from your armchair
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
"...there was the flash of a chisel-tip, just a hand's breadth from my face, then I crashed into the shelves, which juddered. Jars of nails, paint cans, and nameless toolshed things were raining down on me..." Philip Gross has that rare gift of combining poetic writing with both excitement and contemporary street-cred. Using living statue street theatre is an original framework which neatly illustrates the dangers of all cults everywhere, and the vulnerability of adolescents on the run from unpleasant situations at home. Whenever I see an immobilist now, I have a little shiver and ask myself - who's watching whom?
