Ein außergewöhnlicher Roman, bestehend aus 23 Geschichten, brutal und Ekel erregend, widerwärtig, grausam und großartig. Die Menschen, die diese Geschichten erzählen, wollen alle um jeden Preis berühmte Autoren werden und haben sich auf ein böses Experiment eingelassen. Und je schrecklicher sich die Umstände gestalten, desto haarsträubender werden die Geschichten, die sie erzählen
Kurzbeschreibung:
Definitely not for the faint hearted. This short story collection has been described as \'the most original work of fiction this year\' Guardian
Klappentext:
Haunted is a novel made up of stories: twenty-three of the most horrifying, hilarious, mind-blowing, stomach-churning tales you\'ll ever encounter. They are told by the people who have all answered an ad headlined \'Artists Retreat: Abandon your life for three months\'. They are led to believe that here they will leave behind all the distractions of \'real life\' that are keeping them from creating the masterpiece that is in them. But \'here\' turns out to be a cavernous and ornate old theatre where they are utterly isolated from the outside world - and where heat and power and, most importantly, food are in increasingly short supply. And the more desperate the circumstances become, the more desperate the stories they tell - and the more devious their machinations to make themselves the hero of the inevitable play/movie/non-fiction blockbuster that will certainly be made from their plight.
Rezension:
By turns nauseating, darkly funny and brutally graphic Observer
