The first verse : a novel

"This is a chilling and fast paced debut novel about one gay man's obsession with reading and how it drags him into a mysterious cult. Irish college student Niall Lenihan feels like an outsider when he first arrives on campus at Trinity College. He soon becomes mesmerized by a man and woman he sees playing an odd "game" in which they ask a question and then blindly open a book and read the first passage they see for an answer to that question."
