It’s easy to believe that Fell’s universe is indeed how (many of) the 0.1% have (and are) amassing their fortunes, and much of Thirteen Storeys reads like apt capitalist commentary. Fell and his billions know how to spin a story, and if Fell can’t make a story disappear, there are always ways to make people disappear. If a scandal hit the airwaves, well, he owns part of the airwaves. Tobias Fell amassed his billions via a system of exploitation: workers’ rights (never heard of those), pillaging rural communities (sounds lucrative), dumping toxic waste (blasé shoulder shrug), and more. In a nutshell: Thirteen Storeys is a creepy and twisted supernatural horror-thriller in which the (egregious) sins of an enigmatic billionaire entrepreneur (Tobias Fell) come back to haunt (not him but) people connected to his residential development, Banyan Court. A book for horror fans and those suspicious of billionaires.
