GRANADA HILLS, CA, US, August 6, 2024 /EINPresswire / -- Suspense enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting September 20th, the release date for Emily Dinova's latest novel, The Antagonist. Known for her compelling storytelling in Veil of Seduction, Dinova returns with a riveting drama that draws readers into a world of obsession and simmering revenge.
In The Antagonist, Dinova masterfully constructs a narrative that invites readers to empathize with Dave Collins, an average middle-class man whose seemingly perfect life unravels after discovering a cryptic sticky note on his refrigerator that says,“You're Special.” From that moment forward, his personal and professional lives disintegrate. Dave becomes consumed with the suspicion that someone is orchestrating his downfall. The story's midpoint shifts focus to his tormentor, unraveling the past to reveal the original sin that set the stage for his ultimate collapse.
“I wrote this during the pandemic lockdown after having it marinating in my mind for many years,” Dinova shares.“Underneath the suspense lies a difficult subject - domestic and sexual abuse - which I previously explored in my play, Capture, which was staged in both London and New York City. The Antagonist allowed me to delve into these themes in a raw and visceral way, releasing my demons onto my readers.”
Mary Sharnick, author of 'Thirst,' 'Plagued' and the 'Orla's Canvas' series, said of 'The Antagonist,'“As William Faulkner posited: 'The past is never dead. It's not even past.' Such is the horror in Dinova's psychological thriller, a tale in which trust is always a victim and forgetting is impossible.”
