Fall Into Darkness by Christopher Pike

Anger almost as good as a goddamn gun…

The Pikers are joined by Jennifer Ann Gordon to talk about Christopher Pike's 1990 courtroom drama/mountain climbing epic/proto-incel cautionary tale: Fall Into Darkness.

They said she murdered her best friend.

The trial is for murder. Ann Rice is dead. Her best friend, Sharon McKay, stands accused. But there is no body. And the three witnesses to the crime only heard what happened, and did not see it. Nevertheless, the prosecution is almost certain of victory. Ann was alone in the dark with Sharon on top of the cliff when Ann fell the 500 feet into the torrential river that claimed her life. There was only one route leading to the cliff, and all the witnesses can remember hearing the girls arguing before the fall occurred. Sharon's only defense is that Ann committed suicide. But everyone who knew Ann, including Sharon, said she was not the suicidal type.

And they were right.

Ann was much more than suicidal.

She was obsessed.
