The book cover has a vibrant red background with radiating rays emanating from a central point near the bottom. Near the center, there is a small, stylized illustration of a shark made up of what looks like fragmented or pixilated text. The title “The Raw Shark Texts” is written at the top in a bold white font. The overall design is eye-catching with a dynamic, almost explosive composition.
Eric Sanderson wakes up in a house one day with no idea who or where he is. A note instructs him to see a Dr. Randle immediately, who informs him that he is undergoing yet another episode of acute memory loss that is a symptom of his severe dissociative disorder. Eric’s been in Dr. Randle’s care for two years — since the tragic death of his great love, Clio, while the two vacationed in the Greek islands.
But there may be more to the story, or it may be a different story altogether. As Eric begins to examine letters and papers left in the house by “the first Eric Sanderson,” a staggeringly different explanation for what is happening to Eric emerges, and he and the reader embark on a quest to recover the truth and escape the remorseless predatory forces that threaten to devour him.
