read by Thomas Judd and Tania Rodrigues
Brrrrrr! I Won’t say that I don’t read horror--but I am very
choosy about what horror I read. As a tremendous fan of Cloud Atlas, though, I
had to give this book a try--in spite of some trepidation after having found
The Bone Clocks unreadable.
Yes, it’s a haunted house story--closer to a classic one
than I expected from this author. Yes, the structure of the story is recursive,
and will reward the reader who pays close attention (and will bore the reader
who doesn’t)--a bit like Cloud Atlas in that respect, though Mitchell has
become an even better writer since then and doesn’t, this time, tempt you to
skip entire chapters. (Much. You definitely won’t retroactively wish you had,
in any case.) And yes, it’s deliciously creepy.
