Slights, Kaaron Warren

  • Mein zweites Buch von der Autorin, und immer noch in ich fasziniert von ihrer opulenten und originalen Stimme. Zusätzlich ist das eines der unangenehmsten Bücher gewesen, die ich gelesen habe. Man merkt förmlich, wie die Autorin mit der Leserschaft spielt, hat aber das Gefühl, dass sie aus allen Richtungen gleichzeitig zuschlagen könnte. Literary Horror at its finest. Ich bin beeindruckt.


    Zum Inhalt:

    When Stevie Searle almost dies in the accident that kills her mother, she doesn’t see a shining path or a golden light.

    Instead, she sees everyone she’s ever slighted, waiting to take a piece of her in a cold, dark room. The person whose place she took in the queue, the schoolmate she cheated off, the bus driver she didn’t pay? All waiting. All wanting to take their revenge when she finally crosses over.

    Stevie is fascinated by the dark room so she sends herself there again.

    And again.

    And Again.
