THE TENANT
Roland Topor, [1967]
The Tenant chronicles a harrowing, fascinating descent into madness as the alienated Trelkovsky is subsumed into Simone Choule, an enigmatic suicide whose presence still saturates his new apartment. The novel probes disturbing depths of guilt, paranoia, and sexual obsession and was brilliantly filmed by Roman Polanski in 1976. With a new introduction by Thomas Ligotti, four bonus short stories, and a generous selection of Topor's artwork.
