The Contortionist's Handbook-Craig Clevenger
Verdict: must read.

The emotional, twisted background of our main character...the genius mind games he plays, the identities he goes through--he's a contortionist, meaning, he can copy anything and create new lives in a flash, with all the details perfect, and analyzes the psychologists sent to analyze him...overdosing to escape his "godspitters", crazy headaches that apparently have no cause, getting out of it with his brilliant mind.

Everything about this novel is written and done with such skill, and wit, and dark humor. It's amazing, knocks you speechless and plays with your mind material. Brilliant.
