Düster, neblig, pulsierend und voller verworrener Gestalten.
So stelle ich mir Arkham vor. Und genau so, habe ich es in diesem Buch vorgefunden.
Mysteriöse Morde, Kunst, Magie, Blutrituale und ein undurchdringlicher Nebel voller Geheimnisse. Was ist Illusion und was ist Realität? Finde es selbst heraus.
Der scheinbar ganz normale Junge Jamie Conklin kann mit den Geistern kürzlich verstorbener reden..die Grundidee von Stephen Kings neuem Roman "Später" dürfte jedem doch irgendwie bekannt vorkommen, oder? Der Einstieg in die Geschichte ist wie bei den meisten Romanen von Stephen King großartig, das Talent des Autors mit relativ wenig Sätzen glaubhafte und sympathische Figuren zu erschaffen kommt auch hier wieder zum Tragen, allerdings schafft Stephen King es nicht, dem bekannten Thema allzu viele neue Facetten abzugewinnen, nach der starken ersten Hälfte verliert die Geschichte leider etwas an Schwung. Auch wenn der Protagonist oft beteuert, es handle sich um eine Horror-Story, halten sich die Grusel-Elemente ziemlich in Grenzen.."Später" ist nicht Stephen Kings bester Roman geworden, hat aber alle Stärken und Schwächen, die man an dem Autor liebt..
Now this was an enjoyable and spooky quarantine read.
Though unfortunately not all of its tantalising mysteries were fully resolved it was captivating to me from start to finish. I love me a gothic tale - and why not throw in a little (okay a LOT of) lesbianism and set it in two different but interconnected timelines? Plus I enjoy being told a story by an omniscient narrator who addresses their readers as "Dear Readers". This tone reminded me of "A Series of Unfortunate Events" by Lemony Snicket.
Last year's winner of the Goldsmith prize seems to be a bit of a funny fish (the cover may have helped confirm this impression). Set in the bleak small towns of post-Brexit England, two slightly lonely, middle aged people try to find their feet. Instead they stumble across a creepingly terrifying underworld, where something spooky is happening with bodies of water and news is spreading through a conspiracy theory website. Harrison weds the modern day horror of a declining economy and the spread of misinformation with the Victorian gothic horror of seducing nature and wild humans. An unsetteling, hypnotic book.
