Review: Paranoia and the paranormal collide in Andrew Pyper’s The Homecoming GlobeArts
“Families teach us who we are,” Aaron says. “That’s what the kids’ movies I watched growing up and the sappy commercials they air over the holidays tell us. Family binds us. It’s the download for our politics and faith software. The way to see yourself more truly than any mirror. And maybe it is all that. But I would define it as something else. A family is a group of people who have different versions of the same experience.
As the family cohabitates, slithering between cohesion as a united front and drawing suspicious lines to divide the two sides, demons come out of the woods. Are they ghosts? Intrusions of post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of Aaron’s stint overseas? Hallucinations? At one point Aaron tries to fight evil with a cheese knife. “From out of the forest, something howls.” The metaphors abound.
