The Cipher By Kathe Koja
I just finished the Cipher. It won the Bram Stoker award two decades ago but I had never read it before. Below is my review that I posted on amazon.
Poetry Meets Horror
Koja creates a dark dystopia full of intriguing characters artfully spun with a unique and beautiful poetic style. The Cipher doesn't take the reader to exotic locales or tired landscapes; it doesn't have to. The "Funhole" itself presents an ever-changing backdrop for Koja to paint an artistic canvas full of delightful nightmares. In a word: phenomenal.
