SHOCKINGLY DARK SUPERNATURAL HORROR... When a troubled young American couple leases a flat in Portugal, they hope to rekindle lost feelings for one another in an exotic new setting far removed from reminders of their past. But as the first hours in their new surroundings unfold, it quickly becomes apparent that their stay in the flat will be anything but relaxing. Something haunts the unit, and now it’s haunting them, shutting them off from the outside world at the same time it turns the lovers against one another in the most brutal of ways. As they struggle to find a way out of a living hell, with its multitude of unforgiving horrors, the two finally come to realize they can't escape themselves. And that no one leaves THE FLAT.
"Shockingly Dark Supernatural Horror" is absolutely correct. Having said that, I had to keep reading to find out what happened. What an intense story. I found myself feeling some panic during the extreme scenes. The characters were well-developed and I felt the tragedy of their lives. I finished reading it a short while ago, and I almost feel the need to sit and think about it before I move on. Excellent job Jack Douglas and Rick Chesler!
Нямат dropped секция в Goodreads, което е голям минус. И разбира се, че има висока оценка за скучната драма с дразнещи герои, явно такива са масовите читатели - искат тежък психологизъм като в риалити роман по БНР. Аз лично стигнах почти до половината и свръхестествено не видях, само вайкане на персонажите колко не им върви брака. Edit е доста по-добър роман от Рик Чеслър, с повече екшън и чудовища и по-малко напъни да се прави на писател.
A real suspense. I just had to keep reading to see what would happen next. This is more a horror story. Trapped in an apartment with no food or water. Will they survive or.....
