The String Diaries
Autor Stephen Lloyd Jonesen Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 ian 2015
The
String
Diariesopens
with
Hannah
frantically
driving
through
the
night--her
daughter
asleep
in
the
back,
her
husband
bleeding
out
in
the
seat
beside
her.
In
the
trunk
of
the
car
rests
a
cache
of
diaries
dating
back
200
years,
tied
and
retied
with
strings
through
generations.
The
diaries
carry
the
rules
for
survival
that
have
been
handed
down
from
mother
to
daughter
since
the
19th
century.
But
how
can
Hannah
escape
an
enemy
with
the
ability
to
look
and
sound
like
the
people
she
loves?
Stephen
Lloyd
Jones's
debut
novel
is
a
sweeping
thriller
that
extends
from
the
present
day,
to
Oxford
in
the
1970s,
to
Hungary
at
the
turn
of
the
19th
century,
all
tracing
back
to
a
man
from
an
ancient
royal
family
with
a
consuming
passion--a
boy
who
can
change
his
shape,
insert
himself
into
the
intimate
lives
of
his
victims,
and
destroy
them.
If
Hannah
fails
to
end
the
chase
now,
her
daughter
is
next
in
line.
Only
Hannah
can
decide
how
much
she
is
willing
to
sacrifice
to
finally
put
a
centuries-old
curse
to
rest.

Recenzii
"The
String
Diariesis
terrifying,
and
deliciously
so
.
.
.
A
sophisticated
horror
story
that
induces
elemental
terror.
It's
perfect
for
the
beach,
particularly
since
you
don't
want
to
be
alone
with
it
in
the
dark."—Sherryl
Connelly,New
York
Daily
News
"This is a book of authorial wizardry, as Jones hopscotches among three time periods and locales (late 1800s Hungary; 1970s France and England; and present-day Snowdonia, in northern Wales) with grace, wit and dexterity."—Joy Tipping,Dallas Morning News
"Jones doles out his narrative revelations with patience, turning over his cards deliberately like a well-trained casino dealer."—Entertainment Weekly
"A scary and exciting horror novel that keeps us off kilter, trying to figure out what's going on until we're so involved in the story that we couldn't look away even if we tried. . . . This is Jones' first novel, and you don't see many debuts more ambitious and memorable than this one."—Booklist (starred)
"The String Diariesis an engrossing, mind-bending supernatural tale, and Stephen Lloyd Jones is as exciting a new voice as I've come across in some time, a writer who understands what makes the pulse race."—Michael Koryta,author of Those Who Wish Me Dead
"I have never read a book with such frenzied impatience.The String Diariesis unputdownable. Stephen Lloyd Jones has written a debut novel as frightening and layered as Elizabeth Kostova'sThe Historianand as clever and riveting as Dan Brown'sThe Da Vinci Code."—Benjamin Percy,author of Red Moon, The Wilding and Refresh, Refresh
"ReadingThe String Diariesmade me feel, in the best sense, like a child again. Nothing was more important than the fate of Stephen Lloyd Jones's courageous and very human heroine Hannah Wilde. Meals went uncooked, bills went unpaid, as I waited to find out if she would win freedom for herself and her daughter against the forces of darkness. I was scared, enthralled and amazed by this stunning debut."—Margot Livesey,author of the New York Times bestselling The Flight of Gemma Hardy
"A marvel, a new take on a genre that one would have thought completely bled dry of new ideas by now,"—Joy Tipping,The Dallas Morning News
"[A] vividly written tale."—Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
"An elegant and exotic neo-Gothic horror story....This globe-trotting, time-traveling page-turner continues with both passages of great beauty and buckets of blood... [T]hose who are willing to let Mr. Jones string them along, are in for an exciting ride."—Margie Romero,Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"I loved this book."—Marcus Sakey, author of Brilliance
"WithThe String Diaries, Stephen Lloyd Jones has created a new mythology of the monstrous to rival Stoker's or Shelley's. Grounded in the real world and populated by characters we believe in, this is a book of magic for the doubtful, a fantastic tale for skeptics, at once transporting and convincing."—Andrew Pyper,author of The Demonologist
"This novel is a breakneck chase down a long and winding road with the devil sitting beside you in the car."—Ben Loory,author of Stories for Nighttime and Some for the Day
"At once chilling and soulful, this hauntingly powerful tale weaves together the best elements of the psychological thriller, fantasy horror, and historical fiction. Stephen Lloyd Jones has penned a deeply inventive, dazzling debut novel."—Eliot Pattison,author of Edgar Award-winning The Skull Mantra and Ashes of the Earth
