The End of Mr Y – Scarlett Thomas ***Our Penultimate MindFuck***

Our penultimate MINDFUCK discussion takes drugs and paranoia to a whole new level of reality and even throws in some homeopathy for good measure (which technically makes the book fantasy but you’re all far to clever to believe in that nonsense).

When Ariel Manto uncovers a copy of The End of Mr. Y in a second-hand bookshop, she can`t believe her eyes. She knows enough about its author, the outlandish Victorian scientist Thomas Lumas, to know that copies are exceedingly rare. And, some say, cursed.

With Mr. Y under her arm, Ariel finds herself thrust into a thrilling adventure of love, sex, death and time-travel.
