Ten people wake up in a strange facility. None of them remember how they got there or why. With no way of figuring out their situation, they decide to explore the mysterious building.
A camera on the ceiling, steel-plated walls, rooms that shouldn't exist; the deeper they venture, the more confused they get. When impossible things begin to happen, the group struggles to keep their grip on reality—and their lives.
David grew up in Livingston, New Jersey, where he spent most of his time playing video games, reading graphic novels, and exploring construction sites, much to the chagrin of his parents. His love of stories never waned regardless of medium, even after altering many in his mind, usually taking them in a darker direction.
He decided to become a writer in his freshman year at Montclair State University, dabbling in video game and comic scenarios alongside his novel writing. After graduating with a degree in Classics, he would go on to join the staff of RPGsite.net where he would review and post news about video games.
He currently resides in Bloomfield, New Jersey, where he continues to work on his next crazy project.
This is a surprisingly GREAT story that you've probably never heard of.
The plot is unique, which is a rarity these days, and it had me guessing the entire time about what was truly going on. I can't really pin it down to one genre since it had healthy doses of science fiction, tons of suspense, some horror, and even posed an important question about morality.
It's unfortunate that the book seems to have slipped under the radar of most readers. Being a fairly quick read, it truly is worth your time and I recommend it.
As with many books published by indie authors, it could have used a little more editing, but the errors are easily overlooked because you'll be too sucked into the story to care. Hopefully, the author will release a new revision with those minor edits and some slight polishing, then find a way to publicize it a little bit better. I think it could be very successful if it were brought to the attention of the proper crowd.
I'm happy that I stumbled across this book and I'm looking forward to reading more from David Kreinberg--especially if this is any indication of how great his imagination is.
I received this book courtesy of a Goodreads giveaway. The Distorted Facility is not a pleasant book, but given the title you really shouldn't be expecting it to be. I continually decided to read "just one more" chapter because of what had just transpired. I was equally interested in what was happening in the facility and how everyone got there. There were somethings that didn't make sense, but they were mostly all clarified by the end of the book. Speaking of which, I felt that the end ing was significantly weaker; however, the book as a whole would not be as strong if it had been excluded. This book was definitely worth the read.
This book sounded so good, I was very excited when I won it. I was a little disappointed after reading it. I like it, but I found it very unbelievable. I also found it slow-paced, good plot, just not great.
