Ich habe seit einiger Zeit wieder große Lust auf wirklich guten Contemporary Cosmic Horror, werde aber kaum fündig. Und auch Laird Barron scheint sich zu meinem Leidwesen inzwischen ja gänzlich auf Noir verlegt zu haben. Umso erfreuter war ich, als ich vor einigen Tagen über dieses Buch gestolpert bin. Das Konzept klingt großartig und die Reviews singen Lobeslieder darauf. Natürlich konnte ich nicht widerstehen. Ich bin so, so gespannt darauf!
Zum Inhalt:
HOPE HAS A PRICE
Nick Prasad has always enjoyed a quiet life in the shadow of his best friend, child prodigy and technological genius Joanna ‘Johnny’ Chambers. But all that is about to end. When Johnny invents a clean reactor that could eliminate fossil fuels and change the world, she awakens primal, evil Ancient Ones set on subjugating humanity. From the oldest library in the world to the ruins of Nineveh, hunted at every turn, they will need to trust each other completely to survive…
All the Birds in the Sky meets Lovecraft Country in this whimsical coming-of-age story about two kids in the middle of a war of eldritch horrors from outside spacetime…
Named one best science fiction and fantasy books of the year by The Washington Post

Praises:
“A wonderful genre-defying adventure, rife with strange heart and weird horror. But most notable is its particular, careful attention to its characters. Premee Mohamed is a bold new voice.” -- Chuck Wendig
“One of those wonderful books that keeps peeling back layers, not of some cosmic mystery, but of its two main characters. Nicky and Johnny end up being much more complex and ambiguous than they appear at the start of this book, and every reveal is gasp-out-loud astonishing.” -- Charlie Jane Anders
“A perfect balance of thriller, horror and humour; reminded me of The Gone-Away World.” -- Adrian Tchaikovsky
“Premee Mohamed writes with a joyous velocity that careens through genre-lines, whipping the reader helplessly after her. One of the most exciting voices I’ve heard in a long time.” -- John Hornor Jacobs
