  1. Helt ok men inte mer.
    Erika, 9 oktober 2024

    DJURPLÅGERI FÖREKOMMER. Inte så mycket och inte alltför detaljerat beskrivet, men jag hade gärna vetat om det innan jag började läsa boken.

    Bra skriven. Berättelsen kommer ingenstans förrän 170 sidor in men det betyder inte att inget intressant händer innan. Den är ganska förutsägbar här och där men ändå vill man veta vad som kommer näst. Ganska förutsägbara karaktärer också men man vill veta vad de tänker och vad som ska hända dem. Värt att läsa en gång men jag kommer knappast läsa om dem.

One of the most extraordinary thrillers of the year so far... Splendidly sinister and twisty, it comes to a magnificent Grand Guignol finale * Daily Mail * The buzz building around Catriona Ward's The Last House on Needless Street is real. I've read it and was blown away. It's a true nerve-shredder that keeps its mind-blowing secrets to the very end. Haven't read anything this exciting since Gone Girl -- Stephen King This is the most gloriously complex, shifting story, deeply disturbing yet also, somehow, heartwarming ... Ward has created something exceptionally unsettling here, as many-layered and sinister as the Russian doll that sits on Ted's mantelpiece * Observer * Brilliant... A terrifying exploration of human consciousness that excavates character like an ice pick chipping through an ancient glacier: The deeper one goes, the chillier it gets... A novel of existential dread that explores the nature of humanity, our connection to God and the universe, and the monstrosity of that connection * New York Times * A chilling masterpiece in suspense... This unsettling yet deeply moving novel is a modern classic, and a major contender for book of the year * Sunday Express * The book sits in that twilight margin between psychological thriller and Gothic horror, with Ward, twice the recipient of the August Derleth Award, beautifully wrongfooting the reader every step of the way * Financial Times * This is Stephen King country, and Catriona Ward's novel is at the horror end of the thriller scale. But this is not horror as you know it... for all the deliberate echoes of Psycho and The Shining, Ward's ambition is closer to William Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury. The reader is in her hands but never feels manipulated - this is horror with integrity * The Times * Full of twists and turns, this high-concept gothic horror is going to be huge * Guardian * Unsettling yet deeply moving, this chilling masterclass in suspense enthrals * Sunday Express * This psychological thriller about a recluse and a missing girl has been praised by Stephen King and compared to Shirley Jackson. Unmissable * The i * A must-read for those who like the kind of labyrinthine narratives that pull the rug out from under you, sending you tumbling into a dark, dark room * NPR * Books like this don't come around too often. An intelligent, well-written, stylish psychological thriller... with a perfectly structured plot arc and a perfectly satisfying whammy at the end. I would say I inhaled this in one, but I think I was too busy holding my breath throughout. Bravo -- Joanne Harris, bestselling author of <i>Chocolat</i> The new face of literary dark fiction -- Sarah Pinborough, bestselling author of <i>Behind Her Eyes</i> A sleek thriller, a horror tale in the dark-blooded vein of Shirley Jackson, and a story of a makeshift family that cracks like ice, like a broken heart, when you look closely. I can't recall another novel in recent years that dares so much and succeeds so wildly -- A.J. Finn, bestselling author of <i>The Woman in the Window</i> This page-turner is an absolutely gripping tale * Closer * Blends a multitude of forms, including crime, gothic horror and magical realism. An engrossing, idiosyncratic and unsettling piece of work * Spectator * Believe the hype. The Last House On Needless Street is not only a masterclass in horror, but in storytelling full stop. Up there with the best I've ever read. The most unsettling, beautiful, sad and wise book, it'll stay with me a long time. I'm in awe -- Kiran Millwood Hargrave, author of <i>The Mercies</i> A chilling and beautiful masterpiece of suspense, cunningly plotted and written with the elegant imagination of a Shirley Jackson or a Sarah Waters. I was completely enthralled -- Joe Hill, author of <i>NOS4R2</i> This book is tender rather than terrifying. Playful and sweet as well as sini
