In the House in the Dark of the Woods
Autor Laird Hunten Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 oct 2019
"Once
upon
a
time
there
was
and
there
wasn't
a
woman
who
went
to
the
woods."
In this horror story set in colonial New England, a law-abiding Puritan woman goes missing. Or perhaps she has fled or abandoned her family. Or perhaps she's been kidnapped, and set loose to wander in the dense woods of the north. Alone and possibly lost, she meets another woman in the forest. Then everything changes.

On
a
journey
that
will
take
her
through
dark
woods
full
of
almost-human
wolves,
through
a
deep
well
wet
with
the
screams
of
men,
and
on
a
living
ship
made
of
human
bones,
our
heroine
may
find
that
the
evil
she
flees
has
been
inside
her
all
along.In
the
House
in
the
Dark
of
the
Woodsis
a
novel
of
psychological
horror
and
suspense
told
in
Laird
Hunt's
characteristically
lyrical
prose
style.
It
is
the
story
of
a
bewitching,
a
betrayal,
a
master
huntress
and
her
quarry.
It
is
a
story
of
anger,
of
evil,
of
hatred
and
of
redemption.
It
is
the
story
of
a
haunting,
a
story
that
makes
up
the
bedrock
of
American
mythology,
but
told
in
a
vivid
way
you
will
never
forget.

Recenzii
"Engrossing...
a
game
abundant
in
mysteries
but
scant
in
resolutions.
The
book's
greatest
strength
is
its
striking,
sensual
prose."—The
New
Yorker
"[Hunt] has fashioned an edge of-the-seat experience more akin to watching a horror movie. Don't go in the cellar! Don't eat that pig meat! Darkness is everywhere. . . . So prepare yourself. This is a perfect book to read when you're safely tucked in your home, your back to the wall, while outside your door the wind rips the leaves from the trees and the woods grow dark."—New York Times Book Review
"Like Richard Hughes'In Hazardor Arthur Machen's 'The White People,' Hunt'sIn the House in the Dark of the Woodstells a dark story brightly, leading the reader to see and sense the things that the protagonist isn't saying, and maybe can't even acknowledge. A wonderful, luminous, sly tale that orbits around a very grim core, growing darker and darker as it goes. A stunning contemporary fairy tale."—Brian Evenson, author of A Collapse of Horses
"I adored this book and found it to be entirely spellbinding and scary and strange... It carries us along in a current of intoxicating dread, bearing witness to one woman's dreamlike journey of the soul."—Mona Awad, author of 13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl
"A thrilling, magical tale that straddles two worlds: the harsh, at times grim reality of colonial New England, and the imaginative shadow world from which the oldest fairy tales are woven."—Kathleen Kent, bestselling author of The Heretic's Daughter
"With the surprise of fairy tale and fable but with the complexity of one's favorite literary novel, Laird Hunt again gives us fierce, complex women living in American history."—TaraShea Nesbit, author of The Wives of Los Alamos
"Hunt's accomplished prose creates the atmosphere of possibility and danger that lurks in the best fairy tales, where anything can happen but everything has a cost. Highly recommended for fans of that amorphous border between fantasy, horror, and literary fiction as found in the work of Kelly Link, in Joy Williams'The Changeling(1978), or in Angela Carter'sThe Bloody Chamber(1979)."—Booklist, Starred Review
"The eerie, disturbing story of one of our perennial fascinations--witchcraft in colonial America--wrapped up in a lyrical novel of psychological suspense."—BookBub
"It's tough to give a simple description of this book, except to say that it tackles witchcraft in colonial America, providing a mythology that's sure to disturb."—Bookriot
