A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

Shortlisted for the Costa First Novel Award “It’s not just good, it’s great. An amazing piece of fiction." —Stephen King “The Loney is one of the best novels I’ve read in years. From the very first page, I knew I was in the hands of a master. Atmospheric, psychologically astute, and saturated with the kind of electrifying wrongness that makes for pleasurably sleepless nights.” —Kelly Link, author of Get In Trouble “The Loney is a stunning novel—about faith, the uncanny, strange rituals, and the oddity of human experience. Beautifully written, it’s immensely entertaining, but also deep and wide. A moving evocation of desolate wilderness and a marvel of complex characterization, The Loney is one of my favorite reads of the past couple of years.” —Jeff VanderMeer, New York Times bestselling author of the Southern Reach trilogy “Here is the masterpiece by which Hurley must enter the Guild of the Gothic: it pleases me to think of his name written on some parchment scroll, alongside those of Walpole, Du Maurier, Maturin and Jackson.”—The Guardian (UK)   “A masterful excursion into terror.”—Sunday Times (UK)   “Modern classics in this genre are rare, and instant ones even rarer; The Loney, however, looks as though it may be both.”—Sunday Telegraph (UK)             “Enigmatic and distinctly unsettling. . . . The Loney’s power lies in all that Hurley dares to leave out. This is a novel of the unsaid, the implied, the barely grasped or understood, crammed with dark holes and blurry spaces that your imagination feels compelled to fill. It takes both confidence and talent to write like this and it leaves you wanting more of whatever slice of darkness Hurley might choose to dish up next.”—Julie Meyerson, The Observer (UK)   “An extraordinarily haunted and haunting novel, arrestingly in command of its unique spot in the landscape.”—The Telegraph (UK)   “A tale of suspense that sucks you in and pulls you under. As yarns go, it rips.”—New Statesman (UK)   “Bone-chilling, poetic writing.”—The Times (UK)   “Nuanced, deliberate and building insensibly from a murmur to a shriek. The Loney is an unforgettable addition to the ranks of the best British horror.”—Metro (UK, five stars)   “An eerie, disturbing read that doesn't let up until its surprise ending.”—Daily Mail (UK) “A thrilling first novel.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The eerie, suspenseful debut novel — hailed as “an amazing piece of fiction” by Stephen King — that is taking the world by storm. When the remains of a young child are discovered during a winter storm on a stretch of the bleak Lancashire coastline known as the Loney, a man named Smith is forced to confront the terrifying and mysterious events that occurred forty years earlier when he visited the place as a boy. At that time, his devoutly Catholic mother was determined to find healing for Hanny, his disabled older brother. And so the family, along with members of their parish, embarked on an Easter pilgrimage to an ancient shrine.     But not all of the locals were pleased to see visitors in the area. And when the two brothers found their lives entangling with a glamorous couple staying at a nearby house, they became involved in more troubling rites. Smith feels he is the only one to know the truth, and he must bear the burden of his knowledge, no matter what the cost. Proclaimed a “modern classic” by the Sunday Telegraph (UK), The Loney marks the arrival of an important new voice in fiction.
