The Keep
NATIONAL BESTSELLER - "Part horror tale, part mystery, part romance ... utterly fantastic."--O, The Oprah Magazine - The bestselling, award-winning author of A Visit from the Goon Squad brilliantly conjures a world from which escape is impossible and where the keep--the tower, the last stand--is both everything worth protecting and the very thing that must be surrendered in order to survive.
Two cousins, irreversibly damaged by a childhood prank, reunite twenty years later to renovate a medieval castle in Eastern Europe. In an environment of extreme paranoia, cut off from the outside world, the men reenact the signal event of their youth, with even more catastrophic results. And as the full horror of their predicament unfolds, a prisoner, in jail for an unnamed crime, recounts an unforgettable story that seamlessly brings the crimes of the past and present into piercing relation.BUY THE BOOK

Interesting premis on this one...a story about a story and the whole thing leaves you wondering which one is true? This audiobook was masterfully performed by two actors. While the prison chapters confused me a little bit at first, I found each of the story lines compelling. A complicated tale of childish pranks, revenge and finally redemption played out in several of the characters.
