The Specimens

Outside the town of Iphigenia, there lies a forest. In the forest, there is a rat maze of sterile white walls. In the white walls, in separate white rooms, there lie a pair of identical bodies. It is not for their sake they will not look you in the eye.

Patient BEC-04 and his double have known nothing but the inside of the research facility for almost as long as they can remember. When he breaks loose and finds himself a stranger in the small town beyond the woods, he must ask himself why a secretive academic society has stopped at nothing to keep them apart. What does it mean to bring order to a world beyond the trees, where the unknown is not as frightening as the half-known? And who is looking at who through the observation glass?

This stunning first novel by Hana Gammon explores themes of horror and difference, captivity and paranormal powers.
