Brood
Autor Chase Novaken Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 oct 2014
Thirteen
years
ago,
a
radical
fertility
doctor
helped
bring
Adam
and
Alice
Twisden
into
the
world.
The
treatment
came
at
a
great
cost:
it
turned
the
twins'
parents
into
barbarous
animals
and
threatens
to
transform
the
children,
too.
As
Adam
and
Alice
find
themselves
on
the
brink
of
maturity,
they
starve
themselves
in
a
desperate
attempt
to
stop
their
bodies
from
changing.
Will
they
succumb
to
the
same
bodily
horrors
that
destroyed
their
parents?
Their
aunt,
Cynthia,
who
has
always
wanted
to
be
a
mother,
oversees
renovations
to
the
Twisden
family's
Upper
East
Side
residence-violently
torn
apart
by
the
children's
parents--and
struggles
to
give
her
niece
and
nephew
the
unconditional
love
and
stable
home
life
they
never
had.
Meanwhile,
in
the
world
outside,
the
forces
of
good
and
evil
collide
as
a
troop
of
wild
teenagers,
growing
steadily
in
number,
threatens
to
invade
the
calm
refuge
Cynthia
is
so
determined
to
construct
behind
the
safety
of
the
Twisdens'
walls.
As
New
York
City
transforms
into
a
battleground,
Adam
and
Alice
will
have
to
decide
where
their
loyalties
lie.
They
are
determined
to
lead
normal
lives--and
yet
their
unnatural
urges,
which
grow
ever
stronger
by
the
day,
can
only
be
stifled
for
so
long...

Recenzii
"[Novak's]
prose
sings
with
joy
when
he
describes
the
snap
of
a
bone,
delights
-
and
disturbs
-
when
he
dredges
dark
humor
from
the
aftermath.
Simply
put,
the
people-eaters
bring
out
the
best
in

"Like all good literary horror, a sense of foreboding piggybacks on a layer of strong emotion, and here it's tweaked by the characters' desperate, haunting desire for connections."—Booklist
"A satirical supernatural thriller . . . Genuine rat-inspired horror."—Publishers Weekly
