English Summary/英文概要： This is a chilling literary thriller from a bold new talent in contemporary fiction. Is he your neighbour? Is he your colleague? Does he have a file on you? I think of myself as a collector. Let him tell you his story. He is a city-centre shopworker who cultivates a facade of blandness to hide a secret life. For him, surveillance is an artform at which he can excel. Peeping Tom. Pervert. Stalker. That is not me. But soon, he’s getting too close. As he becomes increasingly entangled in the individual stories, he is documenting, his fascination with the tragic account of a 19th century French pornographer becomes a catalyst for new obsessive connections. However, he quickly discovers that human interaction in the modern, metropolitan world is a hazardous project...This just isn’t going to end well. An urban chameleon, a Tom Ripley for the new millennium, an insanely gifted technofreak: Simon R. Biggam has created a sociopath for our time. "These Are Only Words" is a chilling dissection of identity and alienation from a bold new talent in contemporary fiction.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 這是一本既詭異又另人毛骨悚然的小說。他住在都市，有正當職業，看起來溫文儒雅，像是生活作習正常的鄰居，也像你那親切有禮的同事，但是，他卻正在默默地記錄著你生活的一舉一動，言談中一字一句。當偷聽，窺探或監視漸漸滿足不了他時，他開始想進入你的生活，取代你的自主權。作者成功地描述出主角內心的思路，猶如雷普利一般的精神狀況，另人害怕，不同的是，他很有可能就在你我身邊。
