Synopsis

In a near-future world shattered by the Great Scream — a catastrophic eruption of mass telepathy that destroyed cities and left thousands dead — subliminal artist Raymond Mantle obsessively searches for his lost wife Josiane. As "Screamers" with hive-mind consciousness roam the landscape and communication with the dead becomes commonplace, Mantle samples the thoughts of the living and dying in a brilliant, hallucinatory investigation of shared memory and identity.
