Group R Il se retourna et aperçut une silhouette courant à quatre pattes sur la chaussée, une silhouette décharnée qui le talonnait. Son pied écrasa l'accélérateur et la voiture fit un bond en avant. Pendant quelques secondes, il ne put détacher les yeux de son poursuivant. Quand il reporta son attention sur la route, il vit — trop tard — qu'il était déjà engagé dans le virage. La voiture percuta l'arbre de plein fouet... Une pluie d'éclats de verre s'abattit sur son visage et son torse. Lorsqu'il voulut les ôter, il s'aperçut qu'il avait perdu l'usage de ses mains, réduites à deux plaies démesurément enflées au bout de ses poignets brisés... Quand la silhouette se dressa devant lui, il demeura passif, scrutant cette face innommable, tandis que les longues griffes noires se tendaient vers sa gorge pour achever ce qu'avaient commencé les débris de verre. Definitely a book to read. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time! Although this book claims to be a 'disturbing' read, I found it more of a suspense novel! It has the makings of a rather good horror movie I should think, for me it failed to raise a shudder at all, a great story none the less. näyttää 4/4
British horror writer Campbell here focuses on one of his most intriguing inventions, a horror film supposedly starring Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi, made in England in 1938 and immediately suppressed.... Campbell's novels tend to be dense and less accessible than his short stories, but this narrative seems more relaxed and simplified--perhaps his most readable effort since his debut in The Doll Who Ate His Mother.
A lost horror film holds the key to terrifying secrets. The legends have persisted for decades of a lost horror film starring Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi that was never released. Rumor has it that, for reasons long forgotten, powerful forces suppressed the film and burned all known prints. Nobody now living has seen the finished film. But that might no longer be true... Film researcher Sandy Allan is invited to a screening of a newly discovered sole-surviving print, but then the film disappears and the real horror begins. Sandy's search for the film leads her to Redfield, a rural community known for its rich soil, fertilized by blood from an ancient massacre. But Redfield guards its secrets closely, with good reason. During every step of her search, Sandy is watched, shadowed by strange figures. Is it paranoia, or is someone-or something-determined to keep the lost film and the secrets it reveals buried forever?
