Lädt ... Perfect Little Townvon Blake Crouch
   Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.   ) IreneCole | Jul 27, 2022 |  The book reminded me a little bit of an episode in the series "Supernatural" whereas the town was sacrificing tourists to a scarecrow totem - this book is along the same lines - very fast paced and kept me riveted to my kindle. Five stars for this one! ( ) BookNookRetreat7 | Jul 25, 2022 |  ) ChrisMcCaffrey | Apr 6, 2021 |  ) Charrlygirl | Mar 22, 2020 | After dark, it was as if the town didn’t exist. There was a hotel, manned by a clerk, but there were no rooms to be had. There was a restaurant, empty of customers except for Ron and Jessica. At least they would have something to eat and drink while they contemplated where to spend the night. But the food was not to their liking. Jessica had never liked roaches and fishhooks. Food shouldn’t cut, hurt, or crawl away. Ron could probably repair some of the immediate damage to Jessica’s mouth; he was, after all, a doctor (even though Jessica liked to emphasize that he was only a plastic surgeon). But Ron couldn’t defeat the bear, Jessica would always be a part of the bear. And he couldn’t sew up the gash in the neck of the semi-nude Viking woman pursuing him, even though he had put the gash in her neck with an ice ax. The objective for Ron was to escape; he couldn’t fight the entire town. He did escape with a bit of help from a passing truck driver who had been one of the local inhabitants of Lone Cone. A few years later, Ron returned to Lone Cone with a different wife. Why did he return after years? Why was nothing done in the years prior to his return? This is an interesting well told short story. The best writing skill in the book is the setting descriptions of the town both in the day and night. And the explanation for all that occurred makes the story worth reading to the end.

Ron and Jessica Stahl are a power couple from Southern California, on a Christmas driving holiday in the Colorado mountains.When they stop for the afternoon in sleepy Lone Cone (Pop. 317), they "re charmed by the quaint tourist town which is filled with B&Bs, candy stores, and gift shops. But the folksy hospitality will vanish as the sun drops behind the mountains. A winter storm is approaching, and the Stahls couldn "t have picked a worse night of the year to get snowed into this perfect little town with a dark, dark secret.From the author of DESERT PLACES, ABANDON, and SERIAL UNCUT comes this horror novella, which also contains an interview with Blake, excerpts from all four of his novels, and a bonus excerpt of SERIAL UNCUT.

His website is www.blakecrouch.com.Praise for Blake Crouch "s ABANDON:ABANDON would make an excellent movie, switching back and forth between the plain-but-sturdy homes, saloon and church in 1893 and the same structures rotting to dust in 2009...a clever dual story. CHARLOTTE OBSERVERABANDON [is] two separate works of past and present seamlessly melded together into a single novel that demands to be read in one sitting, so you can better appreciate the beauty of Crouch "s storytelling [O]ne of those books that almost instantly puts you in the mind of a classic.BOOKREPORTER Haunting, fast-paced, and thoroughly engrossing... ABANDON is one of the most original tales of ghosts, greed and gold I've come across. Crouch aligns both eras so perfectly, it's as if the characters are occupying the same breath within the space/time continuum. ABANDON will be one of the most talked-about books of the summer.THE MADISON COUNTY HERALD Ambitious the palpable suspense just keeps building, and many thriller fans ”especially those who like a touch of horror ”will lose sleep to find out how it all ends.BOOKLISTABANDON is terrific a great storyteller hitting his stride.LEE CHILD Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
