It struck me as commercial light horror and I didn’t bother with the sequel (three, er, well, some guesses to what the sequel was titled). And while I enjoyed Body in the Woods, there’s nothing in it to persuade me to seek out further work by her. A woman living alone in a country cottage – her partner is working in Qatar on contract – is visited by an old friend. He has a body wrapped in plastic in the boot of his car. Years before the two had defined friendship as “helping to bury a body, no questions asked”, and he’s turned up to make good on that. After the deed is done, she begins to obsess over the identity of the victim, leading to several flashbacks explaining how the woman and man are linked, and her thoughts and fears are manifested as corruption in her garden – a nettle patch that refuses to die and expands, growing mould patches, etc. It is, like The Three, all very light horror and written in commercial and readable prose. There is one minor weirdness: occasional Americanisms which appear in the prose, even though the voice is very British (the author is British but resident in South Africa, which may explain that). I found Body in the Woods are more involving read than Cottingley, but the latter struck me as a better work. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
Pertence à Série da EditoraNewCon Press Novellas (Set 2.3)
One foul night while her husband is away, an old friend turns up on Claire's doorstep and begs for her help. She knows she should refuse, but she owes him. Despite her better judgement, Claire finds herself helping to bury something in the woods. The question is, will it stay buried, and can Claire live with the knowledge of what she has done? Sarah Lotz, whose novel The Three has been optioned by Company Pictures for development as a TV series while her co-written work The Apartment is under option by Steven Spielberg's Amblin Partners, delivers here one of her most gripping and disturbing stories to date. "Sarah Lotz is a natural born storyteller. Like the hand reaching up from the dark well, she'll drag you into her thrall. You'll come up gasping." - Lauren Beukes ..". really wonderful. A cross between Michael Crichton and Shirley Jackson, hard to put down and vastly entertaining." - Stephen King (of The Three) "Tiptoeing the tightrope between fantasy and horror." - Daily Mail "Dark, subtle and completely unputdownable, I was enthralled from the opening line to the last." - Sarah Pinborough (of The Three) Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
