Memoria, a dazzling debut novel by Adam Pepper, heralds the arrival of one of the great new voices in horror fiction. Creepy, sexy and just this side of insane, Memoria delves into the madness of Dr. Osias, a troubled genius obsessed with carrying on his father¿s life¿s work: discovering the key to utilizing 100% of the brain¿s potential. With the aid of unwitting test subjects, the mad doctor teaches them how to heal illnesses and even grow back severed fingers. But perhaps man was not meant to explore the full reaches of the mind. Dr. Osias¿s past success opened the doorway to Memoria, a land of imprisoned dreams and memories. Desiree, the seductress of Memoria, leaches men¿s minds of their essence like a vampire from a wet dream. In a fortress of a lab surrounded by a strong band of holy rollers out to stop him, Dr. Osias carries out his experiments, seeking the power wielded by Desiree. Adam Pepper¿s prose grabs the reader by the throat and takes you on a ride through the nightmare called Memoria. Not since the early work of Clive Barker have we seen the battle of the human id crafted so deftly.

A taut, well-written sci-fi thriller from a new, young writer. Adam Pepper's story gave me the creeps and I loved it !

Adam Pepper has crafted a thoroughly modern, frighteningly surreal piece of science fiction. This book blows away anything Stephen King ever wrote. I was so hooked on it that I read it straight through to the finale. Five stars - a fantastic read!
