The Nudge
The Nudge by Joseph Fink
Short and not-so-sweet, this unsettling illustrated novella told exclusively through dialogue follows a man confessing his life’s story to a hotel employee – and how a malevolent force has plagued him, gently pushing his life towards ruin.
‘Welcome to Night Vale’s Joseph Fink is a writer I love, with a mind brimming with weirdness and strange horrors. It’s no wonder that when I picked up his latest work for myself that I loved it. ‘The Nudge’ is a would-be love story warped into a strange new terror – where knowing someone so intimately can show you exactly when they are no longer themselves, even if only for a moment. When a husband must run away from his beloved wife of 20 years, only to find himself no safer in the company of strangers, unable to discern the true intent of an invisible force he cannot understand – it makes for a delightful read.
