Blood Like Mine: The book everyone is devouring. 'Neville might well be Stephen King's rightful heir' (Will Dean) de Stuart Neville

Blood Like Mine: The book everyone is devouring. 'Neville might well be Stephen King's rightful heir' (Will Dean)

Autor Stuart Neville
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 aug 2024

Găsim în Blood Like Mine o lectură fragmentară și neliniștitoare, unde ritmul se precipită pe măsură ce granița dintre protecție și teroare se dizolvă. Stuart Neville construiește o atmosferă sumbră, în care fiecare capitol pare o fugă disperată prin umbrele Americii rurale. Ne-a atras atenția modul în care autorul transformă devotamentul matern într-o forță viscerală, aproape de neîndurat, punând cititorul în fața unei întrebări atroce: până unde poți merge pentru a ascunde natura adevărată a propriului copil? Structura narativă este punctată de urmele violente lăsate în urmă de acest duo fugar, cadavrele fiind singurele repere ale unei călătorii fără destinație sigură. Forța narativă a lui Catriona Ward din The Last House on Needless Street pare să se combine aici cu sensibilitatea brutală a lui Amy Engel, dar Neville își păstrează un glas propriu, mult mai ancorat în tradiția romanului polițist întunecat. Față de lucrările sale anterioare, precum Those We Left Behind sau Stolen Souls, unde accentul cădea pe investigația criminalistică și traumele trecutului, Blood Like Mine virează decisiv spre horror-ul psihologic. Este o explorare a întunericului care locuiește în noi toți, unde monstrul nu este doar o metaforă, ci o prezență fizică ce trebuie hrănită și ascunsă de privirile curioase ale lumii.

Despre autor

Stuart Neville este un scriitor nord-irlandez de renume, originar din Armagh, cunoscut în special pentru Belfast Trilogy. Volumul său de debut, The Ghosts of Belfast, a câștigat premiul LA Times Book Prize în 2010 și a fost finalist pentru distincțiile Macavity și Anthony. Neville s-a impus ca o voce puternică în literatura de suspans, fiind apreciat pentru capacitatea de a infuza realismul social cu elemente de teroare psihologică. În Blood Like Mine, el își extinde paleta narativă, combinând măiestria sa în genul crime cu o sensibilitate horror care l-a consacrat drept un succesor spiritual al maeștrilor genului.

Descriere scurtă

‘Stuart Neville at his considerable best. A shocking and powerful thriller that is as moving as it is gripping. This is a book you will not forget in a hurry and which will leave you hungry for the next instalment’ MARK BILLINGHAM

‘A clever, brooding narrative that left me feeling the boundaries of possibility had blurred’ NATALIE CHANDLER

You would do anything to protect your child.
Even if she’s a monster . . .

Rebecca Carter and her daughter Monica, nicknamed Moonflower, travel the American West, always on the move, always hiding, always looking behind them, always keeping Moonflower out of sight.
They speak to no one, only interacting with people when it’s absolutely necessary.

But wherever they go, bodies are left behind.

Special Agent Marc Donner of the FBI has been tracking a killer for the best part of two years. A murderer that strikes once every few weeks. The victims are all men, many disappearing only to be found months later, dumped in forests or rivers or quarries, far from their places of death. All of them with their throats opened, their bodies bled out and their spinal cords severed.

The killer leaves no trace, no clues – only a trail of corpses.

After all this time, Donner has gleaned only a handful of facts from the few witnesses and snippets of CCTV footage available. He’s hunting a middle-aged woman who drives a van with blacked-out windows and false plates. Often she poses as a child online to lure in her prey. It’s never been enough to track her down though.

Until now.

And so begins a cat-and-mouse game between Donner and his prey, Rebecca and Moonflower. But who is the actual hunter – and who is the actual prey? For perhaps Moonflower isn’t the child that her mother claims she is. Perhaps she’s something else – and as Donner puts everything on the line to capture them and prove his suspicions right, perhaps he isn’t prepared to face what is really out there.

Let the Right One In meets Stephen King in this chilling thriller about a mother’s love, a daughter’s devotion, a man’s obsession – and the darkness that lives within us all.

Recenzii

'Stuart Neville at his very, very best - this book grabs your heart and doesn't let go' Ruth Ware

‘An action packed thriller, the mid-way twist in this book will leave you as breathless as several victims on the pages of this relentlessly-paced and unexpectedly moving story as the reader is propelled towards the truly shocking conclusion. Bravo Stuart Neville! Utterly brilliant’ Liz Nugent

‘Blood Like Mine is one of those books that once you read the first few pages, you simply cannot put it back down. This is a character-driven thriller that you will not be able to forget. Simply brilliant’
Steve Cavanagh

‘I absolutely loved Blood Like Mine . . . Thrilling, heartbreaking, and completely compelling. My heart was in my throat the whole time’ Alex North

‘What a book! Exciting, propulsive and vivid. A thriller with real bite’ Mark Edwards

‘Wow, just WOW. I’ve waited a long time for a crime novel to do something different, to keep me guessing, to blow me away – this is that book . . . I lived and breathed every second and flew through the pages – desperate to keep reading but not wanting it to end. Wholly originally and utterly compelling, this is an incredibly tense book that is also full of regret, guilt and love. Blood Like Mine will grip you from the first page and keep you prisoner until you turn the last page. I absolutely loved it’ C. L. Taylor

'Beautiful and dark as all hell. Poignant. Nightmarish . . . Original, terrifying and horrifically tense. This book is your next obsession (and Neville might well be Stephen King's rightful heir)' Will Dean

‘At its core, Blood Like Mine is the story of a mother's unconditional love for her daughter, and that gives everything that happens – the growing horror, the murders, the frantic desperation – an almost unbearable emotional punch. I've not read anything quite like this before, and once it sank its teeth in, I was utterly gripped . . . and I'm eager for more’ Tim Lebbon

‘A masterclass in storytelling, Blood Like Mine is a dark, chilling tale that will grip you from the very first page. Steeped in the emotion of love and loss, Neville's characters are captivating and leap off the page to grab you by the throat – this is a story that you won't forget’
Sam Blake

‘I haven't stopped thinking about this since I devoured it. A tense, dark thriller that combines jaw-dropping horror with gut-punching tenderness, this is a book that will get under your skin and stay there forever’
S. J. I. Holliday
 
‘Stuart Neville’s Blood Like Mine is a breathless and addictive thriller that tears greedily at your nerves and heart’
David Fennell

‘This is quite simply the best crime novel I’ve read this year. A stunning work of fiction that seized me by the throat from the first page to the last. I won’t stop thinking about this one for some time’
Cass Green
 
‘A visceral, cinematic masterpiece. Silence of the Lambs filtered through the lens of prime Stephen King. You won’t read a more gut-wrenching novel this year’
Ed James
'[A] mesmerising mash-up of crime, psychological thriller, horror and (unexpectedly, unless you spot the clues) fantasy . . . Surely indebted to Stephen King for the deftness with which it embeds the gothic in everyday Americana, Blood Like Mine gains in power as it advances towards a denouement that shows Marc and Rebecca as doppelgängers' Sunday Times 

‘Truly outstanding’ heat, Book of the Week
