When 8-year-old Reg’s grisly (if accidental) crime is discovered by the conspiracy theorist Goose, they have little choice but to strike a Faustian bargain: Goose will take Reg somewhere safe, and Reg will track down Goose’s abducted daughter. Making the best of a bizarre situation, sinister forces soon force Reg into a series of diabolical choices that leave his new life teetering on the brink of collapse. Inspired by John Wyndham’s The Midwich Cuckoos, and Patricia Highsmith’s Ripley series, Impostor Syndrome is a suspenseful, rip-roaring, genre-bending love-letter to classic alien invasion sci-fi, cult thrillers, and stylish Stephen King-esque horror.
