Forest
New Release
What if I told you that you had one wish? What if there was a possibility to leave behind the life that makes you miserable and trade it for something much better? What would you have to do for it? Not much. You just have to come with me into the Forest...
A mysterious legend.
An overwhelming desire for change.
Kian hates his life. Relationship troubles, bad luck at work, monotony, and dissatisfaction define his everyday existence. By chance, he learns about a forest—the Forest—from which everyone who has spent a week inside returns as a completely transformed person. How could that be possible?
To find out, Kian sets out on the journey.
What begins as an adventure soon becomes a nightmare.
Was his trip to the Forest the right decision?
"Forest" is the third thriller by author Anna Baron (featured on "Lokalzeit OWL vom 19.3.24")
Do you crave toxic relationships? Themes and peculiarities that offer deep insights into the main characters' psyches? Dark secrets and a full spectrum of everyday psychopathy? Then Anna Baron is exactly what you're looking for! Her books are relatively bloodless, but instead she pushes the boundaries of what's truly real and what's not.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's mystical and has something terrifying about it. It reads almost like a psychological profile.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can hardly put some things into words, but for me "Forest" is A.Baron's best book, simply magnificent and my highlight this month
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ With an indescribably amazing and unique writing style and an instinct for delivering horror in a gripping way, we follow the protagonist on his personal descent into hell.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Forest is a nerve-wracking journey where fiction, madness, and reality blur together.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I've rarely been so creeped out, yet couldn't stop reading.

So richtig war es nicht meins.
Der Part im Forest war schon ziemlich spannend. Aber eigentlich ist es wirklich ein Roman der eigentlich seine eigenen Dämonen kämpft. Klar kann man das so aus dem Inhalt erkennen. Denn wer geht schon in so einen Wald um dann neu herauszufinden? Gescheiterte Existenzen. Hier geht es um schweren Alkoholismus und wie es dazu kam. Auch die Kämpfe die mit so einer Sucht einhergehen. Ist schon Mal nicht uninteressant, aber macht den Psychothriller dann eher zu einem Psychodrama.
Fazit
Der herausfordernde Teil im Forest war wirklich spannend und bisschen gruselig. Die psychische Verfassung von Kian, semi interessant für mich jetzt.
Alkoholismus ist eine ernstzunehmende Krankheit, der Gang in den Forest kann helfen. Den so einen Forest hat wohl jeder Süchtige in sich selbst.
Ob ich noch mal eins von ihr lese - ich bin mir eher nicht sicher, da ich befürchte, dass alles so in dieser Richtung sein könnten, dass hier zuviel Drama eingearbeitet wird.
