The second novel and first English fiction release of Gunnar K. A. Njalsson, "Harper: A Collection of Horrors" lives up to the description on its back cover. While some of the antagonists may not be scary to some people, there are plenty of them and a good chance that at least some of the very unique creatures will terrify the reader. This is a deeply disturbing novel with fear that is not only due to monsters; but also to more worldly concerns that involve trust and the lack of it. Njalsson brings to life a diverse community living in fear- tangible and penetrating fear. He manages to communicate the loss and emptiness which is often omitted from stories in this genre- how the survivors and loved ones have to pick up the pieces of their lives and try to move on. This is perhaps one of the most unique aspects of this novel within its genre. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
"Harper: A Collection of Horrors is a deeply disturbing novel containing a collection of fictional accounts of current and former residents of the town of Harper in southern California. It is the second novel authored by Gunnar K. A. Njalsson and the first by this author in English. The narrator is a 53-year-old former Harperite named Gordon Groff and who wants to 'come clean' about the city's horrendous past which has scarred the narrator, his family and many of the people who lived in the town between 1950 and 1980. Nobody else wants to talk about Harper's past, so Groff breaks the silence and recounts the history of the area where the city is located and proceeds to tell the supernatural and gruesome tales which his family and neighbors have recounted to him. He also puts into words for the first time the horrific incidents which he witnessed as a child"--Amazon.com. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
