Blood Like Mine de Stuart Neville

Blood Like Mine

Autor Stuart Neville
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 iun 2025

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

On a snowy December night, single mother Rebecca Carter drives her van into a snowbank to avoid hitting an elk on a desolate mountain highway. She is at the end of her rope, out of money and food. Still, she refuses help from a man in a pickup truck-Rebecca's adolescent daughter, Moonflower, is on the run from a grisly secret, and the last thing they can afford is to be remembered by anyone they meet. Meanwhile, Special Agent Marc Donner of the FBI has spent the better part of two years hunting down a gruesome serial killer who drains victims of blood before severing their spinal cords, leaving a trail of bodies throughout the country. As Agent Donner's investigation brings him closer and closer to where Rebecca and Moonflower are hiding out, in the foothills of Colorado, the life that Rebecca has fought so hard to hold together for her daughter becomes increasingly imperiled. In this deadly, high-stakes game of cat and mouse, nobody is safe and nothing is certain-not even the line between predator and prey.

Recenzii

‘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

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

‘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

‘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

‘A nerve-jangling thriller that is also a hugely touching meditation on a mother’s love’ Christopher Brookmyre

‘Every year, I read one of two books that are truly special . . . Blood Like Mine deserves to sell skip-loads. No, JCB digger-loads. HBV lorry-loads!’ Fiona Cummins

‘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

‘Blood Like Mine is a violent blend of crime and horror that plays with the definitions of predator and prey. However, the story’s real heart comes from its exploration of family and its consideration of what a mother will do for her child . . . That, ultimately, is the great horror that makes this twisty, relentlessly paced novel shine’ New York Times

‘An astonishing blend of crime story and horror novel with some superb characterisation, this will chill and – thrill – your blood’ Best
