Synopsis

In einer Londoner Schule wird ein Computerspiel herumgereicht – Erebos. Wer es startet, kommt nicht mehr davon los. Dabei sind die Regeln äußerst streng: Jeder hat nur eine Chance. Er darf mit niemandem darüber reden und muss immer allein spielen. Und wer gegen die Regeln verstößt oder seine Aufgaben nicht erfüllt, fliegt raus und kann Erebos auch nicht mehr starten.
Erebos lässt Fiktion und Wirklichkeit auf irritierende Weise verschwimmen: Die Aufgaben, die das Spiel stellt, müssen in der realen Welt ausgeführt werden.
Auch Nick ist süchtig nach Erebos – bis es ihm befiehlt, einen Menschen umzubringen …

The End of FUN

Sean McGinty

Everyday reality is a drag™.

FUN®—the latest in augmented reality—is fun (yay!) but it’s also frustrating, glitchy and dangerously addictive (boo!). Just when everyone else is getting on, seventeen-year-old Aaron O’Faolain wants off.

But first, he has to complete his Application for Termination, and in order to do that he has to deal with his History—not to mention the present, including his grandfather’s suicide and a series of clues that may (or may not) lead to buried treasure. As he attempts to unravel the mystery, Aaron is sidetracked again…and again. Shadowed by his virtual “best friend” Homie, Aaron struggles with love, loss, dog bites, werewolf pills, community theater, wild horses, wildfires and the fact (deep breath) that actual reality can sometimes surprise you.

Sean McGinty’s strikingly profound and laugh-out-loud funny debut unearths a world that is eerily familiar, yet utterly original. Discover what it means to come to the end of fun.
