CW: 4.5 Stars I see you Well of course this won the first ever Shirley Jackson award! I loved the gothic elements that created quite a creepy and atmospheric read. Cass is a washed up photographer whose penchant for drugs and alcohol after the loss of her lover, Christine, make her a damaged and disturbed main character. Her obsession with death as the main subject in her artwork makes us as Readers feel quite uneasy about her from the beginning. It is important to know that this is a slow burn which was crucial in order for the layers of Cass’ character to be peeled back to reveal the dark truth of her. So for some it will feel like the story is kind of meandering along until ‘the good bits’. But seriously, you have to get to the point where you are unsure what choices she will make when confronted with a darkness greater than the one inside her. The writing is so good and the clever weaving in of symbols and imagery throughout creates an increasingly ominous feeling as the novel progresses. You and me, we carry the dead on our backs. Thank you Fiona for your great review that drew this book to my attention. I thought it was incredible. The sense of building dread provided enough suspense to keep me going despite the fact that this book has one of the least likable narrators I've come across. The Maine setting and focus on photography were also pluses. Anyone with substance abuse triggers should probably stay away... the main character is popping pills and drinking way too much throughout. I think we're supposed to see this as fallout from a personal trauma in her youth, but... she was doing all that before the trauma, too. Not sure if I want to check out the other books in this series or not. Maybe? She might have learned something by the end. It's hard to say. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
Kuuluu näihin sarjoihinCass Neary (1)
Cass Neary made her name in the 1970s as a photographer embedded in the burgeoning punk movement in New York City. Her pictures of the musicians and hangers on, the infamous, the damned, and the dead, got her into art galleries and a book deal. But thirty years later she is adrift, on her way down, and almost out. Then an old acquaintance sends her on a mercy gig to interview a famously reclusive photographer who lives on an island in Maine. When she arrives Downeast, Cass stumbles across a decades-old mystery that is still claiming victims, and into one final shot at redemption. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

Audiobook narrator Carol Monda is fabulous, as always. I could listen to her voice every waking hour. ( )
