Über diesen Titel

Melvin Levin is a middle-aged man who is dissatisfied with his dull and mediocre life. That is, he was until he received a mysterious death threat in the mail. Terrified at first, Levin soon becomes accustomed to the threat—and then, increasingly, delighted with it, thrilled with his newfound importance as a “threatened man.” But as his obsession with maintaining this identity becomes all-consuming, he risks blinding himself to the twin dangers of the threat itself and—perhaps worse—his own deranged mind.

At once absurdist, moving, and savagely funny, The Threat is a timeless parable of the comic lengths to which people go to protect the delusions that validate them.

Kritikerstimmen

"Pete Cross uses an arch tone and deliberate pacing to deliver this dark satire of contemporary life. Cross’s portrayal of the telephone voice of the potential killer adds a dark tone reminiscent of CATCH-22 and A CONFEDERACY OF DUNCES. For fans of outrageous, biting social commentary wrapped in a white-hot slapstick package." - Audiofile Magazine
