The Twisted Ones
内容简介:

Winner of the RUSA Award for Best Horror

When a young woman clears out her deceased grandmother’s home in rural North Carolina, she finds long-hidden secrets about a strange colony of beings in the woods in this chilling novel that reads like The Blair Witch Project meets The Andy Griffith Show.

When Mouse’s dad asks her to clean out her dead grandmother's house, she says yes. After all, how bad could it be?

Answer: pretty bad. Grandma was a hoarder, and her house is stuffed with useless rubbish. That would be horrific enough, but there’s more—Mouse stumbles across her step-grandfather’s journal, which at first seems to be filled with nonsensical rants…until Mouse encounters some of the terrifying things he described for herself.

Alone in the woods with her dog, Mouse finds herself face to face with a series of impossible terrors—because sometimes the things that go bump in the night are real, and they’re looking for you. And if she doesn’t face them head on, she might not survive to tell the tale.

From Hugo Award–winning author Ursula Vernon, writing as T. Kingfisher, The Twisted Ones is a gripping, terrifying tale bound to keep you up all night—from both fear and anticipation of what happens next.


T. Kingfisher, also known as Ursula Vernon, is the author and illustrator of many projects, including the webcomic “Digger,” which won the Hugo Award for Best Graphic Story and the Mythopoeic Award. Her novelette “The Tomato Thief” won the Hugo Award for Best Novelette, and her short story “Jackalope Wives” won the Nebula Award for Best Story. She is also the author of the best...

    humour matters, A LOT. 至少在这里如果不是一直有来自女主和Foxy各种奇奇怪怪的比喻和satire我很可能就放弃了…Kingfisher好像总是把前面的铺垫做得特别出色,氛围塑造很强,各种设定从人物关系到背景都极其fascinating,但要到climax的时候就开始走下坡路了。让人感觉后面可能确实还会发生点什么但是我已经没那么在意了…有一点点tedious。这次看下来感觉可能是因为conflicts没有逐步升级的缘故,就比如Bongo失踪应该是个巨大的conflict结果很快就马马虎虎地解决掉了。

    一直到前九章都非常吸引人,悬念设置成功,但后来该出来的东西都出来了之后就变得非常冗长无聊……作者的文笔比较有生活气息,初读带入感挺强的,但也是到后期不断的重复一些细节(比如说女主跟狗的互动之类)就显得很啰嗦……
