Even the end of the novel, while unexpected, is in question. The Daves Next Door is never preachy or sanctimonious – it prefers to leave that to the reader – but given the unreliability of everything that’s happened, one has to question whether how real the final scenes actually are. This is an often obtuse and sometimes downright maddening novel – but it’s masterfully inventive, with an utterly unique premise and execution. This is one that defies categorisation in every way.

Those interested in Will Carver’s other works should check out [[Nothing Important Happened Today by Will Carver]] – much darker than this one, it’s a tricky, perplexing, and unsettling read.
