The Beauty de Aliya Whiteley

The Beauty

Autor Aliya Whiteley
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 ian 2018
Nominated for the Shirley Jackson and Saboteur awards, this game-changing story was chosen by Adam Nevill as one of his favourite horror short stories: "What a refreshing gust of tiny spores this novella explodes into, and I inhaled them all with glee".

Somewhere away from the cities and towns, in the Valley of the Rocks, a society of men and boys gather around the fire each night to listen to their history recounted by Nate, the storyteller. Requested most often by the group is the tale of the death of all women.

They are the last generation.

One evening, Nate brings back new secrets from the woods; peculiar mushrooms are growing from the ground where the women's bodies lie buried. These are the first signs of a strange and insidious presence unlike anything ever known before...

Discover the Beauty.

Recenzii

“Elegantly chilling, utterly heartbreaking horror.” -- M. R. Carey, author of The Girl With All the Gifts
“Aliya Whiteley’s fierce, hallucinatory the beauty is the brilliant gender-bending, post apocalyptic horror fable the world needs right now. This book messed me up, in the best way possible.” -- Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of Ghosts
“What a refreshing gust of tiny spores this book explodes into, and I inhaled them all with glee.” -- Adam Nevill, author of The Ritual
“A murky delirium of sinuous language and unnerving storytelling that will delight both experienced genre fanatics and literary fiction lovers alike.” -- Kirkus
“Some of the boldest, most transgressive ideas in modern storytelling.” -- Stephanie Saulter, author of the ®Evolution trilogy
“This book should win stuff. Seriously, just read it. Original work is being done. Here’s proof.” -- Nina Allan, author of The Race
“Intellectual and visceral, frightening and thoughtful, an adventure and a meditation.” -- Interzone
“A useful conversation starter in a genre that could stand to engage with gender and queerness more.” -- Strange Horizons
